While they prevented any contact by other races with themselves, the geth monitored communications and the extranet. They adopted an extremely isolationist attitude-any ships that ventured into geth space were immediately attacked and destroyed. The geth did not repopulate the now barren quarian worlds, instead choosing to exist in the computer hubs aboard massive space stations and extract needed resources from asteroids. Little is known about the geth in the time between the Morning War and the present. The fleet of quarian ships that escaped the Veil became known as the Migrant Fleet, and has been roaming the galaxy ever since. Unknown to the quarians themselves, the geth actually allowed them to leave unsure of the repercussions of eradicating an entire species-namely their own creators- and having decided that the quarians were now too weak to be a threat, the geth decided to draw back their forces so that the surviving quarians could flee. The war ended when the surviving quarians evacuated their homeworldВ and colonies in the Perseus Veil. However, as time went on, the geth sympathizers were outnumbered, and the war continued, eventually seeing the geth gain the upper hand. Even after this, some geth remained loyal to their creators and put themselves in harm's way to protect geth sympathizers from persecution likewise, there were quarians who did not feel the geth deserved to die. The attempt failed, and a war began between the geth and the quarians, which geth afterwards referred to as theВ Morning War.ДЄt first, the geth did not respond to the termination order with violence it was only after panicked quarians fired upon them that the geth thought to pick up weapons and defend themselves. Alarmed at this, the quarians decided it would be best to shut down all geth before they conceived of revolt.

Geth programs were indeed non-sentient individually, but slowly gained sentience through the massive geth network.ДЄround 1895 CE, they started asking the quarians questions only sentient beings would think to ask in one notable instance, a domestic geth unit asked its owner if it had a soul.

Unfortunately, this feature was the quarians' undoing. They were also designed to operate more efficiently when networked together. They were designed as VIs, as advanced as possible while remaining non-sentient.

The geth were created by the quarians as a labor force.
