No Man's Sky: Who Were The Gek First Spawn?

thegamer.com:

Despite what you may think, No Man's Sky has a lot more lore than it seems. Over time as one update after another added more content and creativity to the game, a rich and pretty grim universe of lore had been built up. With a wide-reaching history interconnecting most, if not all, of the species within the game in one way or another, substantially adding more depth to the galaxy.

For the Gek in particular, history paints a pretty bad picture of this seemingly comical space-faring species. Because though they may be trade-focused entrepreneurs, those Gek that came before were an entirely different breed. So with that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about the Gek First Spawn.

Before we get started, it's worth catching up with where the Gek are right now in No Man's Sky. They're one of three core alien races of the universe, and they're a primarily merchant species that are amphibian in nature and hail from the planet Balaron. Seeming fairly timid and jovial in nature, they communicate in a series of verbal squeaks and squawks as well as the occasional odorous smell.

They’re quite goofy little space goblins whenever you meet them and will often happily trade items for credits whenever they have the chance. Their systems are where you can often find Hauler class starships and their societal hierarchy is also merchant based, with known higher up titles often being referred to as Directors, Supervisors, Brokers, and lower groups taking up the aptly named "SalesGek" positions.

“This Galaxy is vast but it is knowable and it can be conquered. It shall be subjugated. The rising tide of the First Spawn will sweep away any that oppose it.”- Quote From A
