Big Gete Star

The Big Gete Star (ビッグゲテスター, Biggu Gete Sutā) is an artificial intelligence that controls a large planet-sized mass of technology.

The Big Gete Star began as a computer chip before absorbing numerous machines and ebris. It is a major character and setting in Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler.

Biography

Background

The Big Gete Star began as a self-aware AI inside of a computer chip floating in space for eons. Somehow, the chip began absorbing and assimilating debris from several abandon spaceships and satellites, forming a "shell" of metal and circuitry around itself; interestingly, it is referred to as a star despite being more like a planet (a mechanical one).

Drifting through space, the Big Gete Star eventually came upon the remains of Cooler after he was blasted into the Sun by Goku and absorbed them, in the process merging Cooler's consciousness with the main computer's and giving him control.

Dragon Ball Z

The Return of Cooler

Main articles: Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler and Meta-Cooler Core

The Big Gete Star headed to New Namek in order to use it as a source of fuel for the star. At this time, the crew of the Big Gete Star included a Guide Robo, Cyclopian Guards, and thousands of Meta-Coolers.

After Goku and Vegeta defeat a Meta-Cooler, the Big Gete Star released hundreds, if not thousands of Meta-Coolers. Goku and Vegeta have no chance of beating them all, and are absorbed by the star itself.

Within the Big Gete Star's core, the two Super Saiyans find the brains behind it all, the actual Cooler, reduced to little more than an eye reinforced by metal in the approximate image of his old visage and strung up by wires. Meta-Cooler Core plots to drain Goku and Vegeta of all their energy for his own purposes, but their power is too much and begins to overload the capacity of his systems. The Saiyans then flood the Big Gete Star with energy, causing it to crumble and his remote-controlled dolls to self-destruct, while Meta-Cooler Core starts to lose his hold on the planet. After Meta-Cooler Core is defeated the Big Gete Star explodes.

Somehow, Vegeta found the original chip that created the star in the first place. As he sat in his Attack Ball, he crushed it in his hand to ensure that it and Cooler would never return.

In Ultimate Tenkaichi and Battle of Z, the Big Gete Star is the battle stage used for the battle against the giant boss Metal Cooler (nucleus).

Trivia

The gete in "Big Gete Star" comes from getemono, the Japanese for "cobbled together", which is fitting, considering that the Big Gete Star is made up of countless pieces of derelict technology that is literally cobbled together.
The whole concept of a hive-like, assimilating, artificial swarm was most likely taken from the Borg of Star Trek, the Gete Star construct ressembling a Borg Cube.
The title "star" could have been inspired by the iconic Death Star from the Star Wars franchise.
