The Formic Wars were a series of conflicts between the human race and the Formics over the course of 100 years. The wars began when the hive-minded Formics sent a colonization fleet to Earth, not knowing that sentient life already existed on the planet. Not recognizing the humans as sentient beings, they attempted to terraform the world to their own needs. The humans defended themselves, and managed to destroy the scout ship that was sent ahead of the main fleet. However, the rest of the fleet eventually made it to the solar system, giving the humans another fight for their lives and their planet. Mazer Rackham destroyed the mothership housing the Hive Queen, ending the Second Invasion . To prevent Earth from ever being attacked again, the humans sent an invasion fleet to the Formic Homeworld and other Formic colonies to destroy their alien adversaries. The invasion fleet was commanded by Ender Wiggin.
