Content: The Formic race consisted of Hive Queens, male drones, and workers. The entire species shared a hive mind, so the loss of individual workers did not concern them. The Formics killed over 40 million humans during the First Invasion of the Formic Wars in the belief they were simply scouring the lifeforms of Earth, to be replaced with the native life of their homeworld. After the defeat of the Formic fleet in the Second Invasion and the death of a Hive Queen, the Formics realized that the humans were sentient and did not invade them again. During the Third Invasion, Ender Wiggin used the Molecular Disruption Device on the Formic homeworld, destroying the planet and all the Hive Queens on it; thus almost killing off the Formic species in its entirety. Before their demise, the Hive Queens hacked the Mind Game in Battle School in an attempt to communicate with Ender Wiggin. Although they failed to talk to him, the interaction led Ender to discover a Hive Queen cocoon on a planet they had colonized, named Shakespeare by the humans. The Formics had left the Queen there, trusting Ender that he would take it with him on his voyages, and attempt to find a world where their species could be reborn. The Formics re-created their civilization 3,000 years after their destruction on the planet Lusitania, and later colonized other planets using faster-than-light travel.
