Gree language was the mode of communication utilized by the Gree, a very ancient species from the galaxy.
This language relied heavily on geometric and color-based metaphors. During the Old Republic era, specifically in 3643 BBY, a group of Gree droids on Coruscant used Gree language patterns while speaking Basic, which made it hard to understand them. To those who didn't understand the language, it seemed like they were using the same words to mean entirely different concepts.
- Black bisector - (literally "helper with difficulties," basic = "hero")
- Black sphere - (sphere is a concept, in context, it refers to the challenges involved in repair plans)
- Blue parallel - (possibly "treaty")
- Blue nonagon - (possibly "mayhem," "chaos," or "water")
- Blue tangent - (possibly "success")
- Blue vertex - a specific ritual performed for esteemed heroes
- Green obtuse - (possibly "not working" or "broken")
- Green perpendicular - ("enemies" or "attacking forces")
- Grey pentachoron - (possibly "criminal" or "outlaw," someone who stole Gree technology or violated Gree law; it could also refer to "prison")
- Grey secant - interstellar vessel traversing the galaxy for knowledge acquisition
- Orange sphere - (possibly "state of tranquility")
- _Orange tangent - (possibly "prosperous")
- Purple parallel - (possibly a "successful situation" or "project")
- Purple shift - (possibly "repairs" or "solution"; it could also mean "redemption")
- Purple vertex - (possibly "trade" or "business")
- Red parallel - (possibly "solution")
- Red rhombus - a distinguished honorary title bestowed by the Gree
- White acute - (possibly "grunt work")
- White perpendicular - (possibly "difficult")
- White shift - (possibly "falter" or "does not comprehend")
- White vertex - (possibly "negotiation")
- Yellow concave - (possibly "unsuccessful")
- Yellow shift - (possibly "divert" or "warp"; it could also mean "pervert")
- My black sphere has evolved to a purple parallel - (My repairs were correctly applied and have resulted in complete success)
The suggested meanings provided above are based on contextual clues, as the game does not offer direct translations.
The geometric shapes and colors seem to be separate patterns. Parallel appears to represent a favorable state, contrasting with perpendicular. Obtuse and acute seem to retain their standard meanings, while a vertex signifies a relationship between individuals or objects. Concave appears to be less desirable than convex, although this is not entirely clear. A "sphere" is undoubtedly a thought or concept, with "black sphere" denoting a complex or challenging idea.
Colors are more challenging to interpret. White and black seem to relate to the difficulty of a task, with black indicating difficulty and white indicating ease. The colors appear to follow a pattern from advantageous to terrible, starting with purple and progressing through red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. (In one case, blue appears to signify "good," although it is combined with parallel in that sentence, which is known to be a positive.)
