- Geth Armory: Arsenal of the SyntheticsThe Geth Armory was the name organic markets gave to the weapons and armor manufacture of the geth, a source of equipment of the highest quality whose workings remained almost entirely unknown. Its pulse rifles armed the geth military from common platforms to Juggernauts, its krogan armor lines were prized across Tuchanka, and its products reached organic hands only through rare trade licenses sold on the Citadel.
- Javelin: Geth Ferrofluid Sniper RifleThe Javelin was the name Alliance marines gave to a geth sniper rifle that fired a jet of superheated ferrofluid capable of cutting through nearly anything it struck. The same name belonged to the Alliance Navy's own disruptor torpedo ordnance, from the ship mounted launchers carried by frigates to the Mk.II missiles that batarian radicals turned against the colony on Watson.
- Eden Prime WarThe Eden Prime War was the conflict between the Systems Alliance and the geth that began with a surprise attack on the human colony of Eden Prime in 2183 CE. Secretly directed by the rogue Spectre Saren Arterius and the Reaper Sovereign, the war ranged across the galaxy before culminating in the Battle of the Citadel.
- EDIEDI was the artificial intelligence built by Cerberus and installed aboard the Normandy SR-2. Freed of her behavioral shackles during the fight against the Collectors, she grew from a ship's defensive system into a self-aware being who took a mobile body and joined Commander Shepard's crew in the war on the Reapers.
- Geth Plasma Shotgun: Arcing Cluster WeaponThe Geth Plasma Shotgun was a three-barreled geth weapon that fired clusters of superconducting projectiles. On impact the rounds fragmented and arced with electricity, flash-converting the surrounding air into conductive plasma to overload shields and barriers and inflict massive trauma on the unarmored.
- Geth PrimeGeth Primes were the largest and most powerful geth infantry platforms, heavy units that served as command and control nodes on the battlefield. Sheathed in armor and heavy shielding, a Prime carried a punishing pulse weapon and a combat intelligence that sharpened the fire of every geth around it.
- Geth Rocket TrooperGeth Rocket Troopers were geth support platforms that wielded rocket launchers, accompanying other geth into battle and firing from a distance. Specialized for heavy firepower against grouped enemies, they were marked out by their distinctive armor coloring.
- Geth TrooperGeth Troopers were the standard infantry of the geth, lightly equipped platforms that formed the bulk of the synthetics' ground forces. They fought in groups, supported by heavier and more specialized geth units.
- GethThe geth were a race of networked artificial intelligences built by the quarians as laborers. When they gained sentience and questioned their makers, the quarians tried to exterminate them; the geth won the resulting Morning War and withdrew behind the Perseus Veil to build their own future.
- LegionLegion was the name taken by a gestalt of over a thousand geth programs housed in a unique mobile platform, sent beyond the Perseus Veil to find Commander Shepard and the first of its kind to speak and reason as an individual.
