Content: In the simulation, the device destroys the planet, most of the enemy ships protecting it and some of Ender’s fleet that were within range of the explosion. After the battle, Ender is confused because there is a celebration in the room, and no one is angry with him for his actions. Only then does Rackham tell Ender that the simulations in Command School were actual battles with the Buggers, and that he just led Earth’s fleet to victory against the Bugger army. Realizing he caused the destruction of a planet, the genocide of an entire species and the death of numerous pilots in Earth’s fleet, Ender becomes despondent and falls into a deep, depressive sleep. Now that the Buggers have been destroyed, a league war, instigated by years of political essays by Locke and Demosthenes, breaks out on Earth and at command headquarters on Eros. A treaty proposed by Peter under the alias of Locke quickly ends the war. Though he is still a teenager, Peter gains incredible political power, and his age ceases to become a concern. Many people, not knowing the real Peter, view him as a great architect of peace. Ender comes out of his depressive sleep state only after his friends and the squadron leaders he commands visit him. They tell him about the league war.
