Commander Shepherd is once again called to weaken Geth's combat strength. They were then able to bring the fight to the Quarians and drive their former masters back.
The synthetics allowed themselves to be controlled by Reaper code in order to become more effective fighters, rationalizing that the cost of their free will an acceptable price to avoid extinction. With the loss of so many programs in their war against Quarians, their intelligence dimmed and survival mode took precedence among the consensus, forcing the Geth to make a deal with the Reapers.
In Mass Effect 3, their original creator, Quarians, have returned to reclaim their planet from Geth. In Legion's own words, the heretics want the Reapers to give them the future, while the main geth wish to build their own future. It reveals that the geth that followed Saren were a small percentage of the geth collective, dubbed 'heretics' by the main geth who refused Sovereign's offer to join it. In Mass Effect 2, a docile geth dubbed Legion is encountered. The geth follow Sarens orders without question, believing him to be the Reaper's herald due to him piloting the ship Sovereign (which is a Reaper itself). It later transpires that the geth are helping Saren brign about the return of the Reapers, which they worship as gods. In the first Mass Effect, the geth attack the human colony of Eden Prime, led by rogue Spectre Saren Arterius.
Once the quarians fled the system, the geth did not pursue, and instead remained on Rannoch, and reamined quiet for the next two centuries.
The geth retaliated, and eventually won the resulting war, killing millions of quarians and forcing the survivors off of Rannoch aboard the Migrant Fleet. When they began to question their creators (more specifically asking if they had souls) the quarians panicked and attempted to exterminate them. They initially started out as simple VI's, with no real sentience, but over time their creators upgraded their progamming, resulting in them becoming a sentient collective of AI's. The Geth (Khelish for Servant of the People) were originally created by the quarians as a labor force designed to operate more efficiently when networked together.
