Description: "Basically, the more Geth you get together the smarter they all become" - Tali Zorah nar Rayyah
The geth are a race of networked AIs that reside in the Terminus Systems. The geth were created nearly 300 years ago by the quarians as laborers and tools of war. When the geth began to question their masters, the quarians realized they had achieved self-awareness and thus attempted to exterminate them. The geth won the resulting war, banishing the quarians from their home world and reducing them to a race of nomads. The example set by the geth has led to the legally enforced, systematic repression of artificial intelligences in galactic society. It was feared that after they drove the quarians from their homeworld, the geth would turn on the rest of the galaxy, but this never happened, and they followed a pattern of isolationism.
Playing as a geth would be incredibly difficult; firstly the entire species hates organics, secondly organics (most especially quarians) hate them back and lastly a solitary geth isn't much more intelligent than an animal.
It would take a very creative player and a willing GM to pull off a geth player character.
