The Third Invasion (0 BX ), later known as the War of Xenocide or the Formic Xenocide, was the third and final major conflict of the Formic Wars. Instead of the Formics attacking Earth, as in the first two invasions, the Third Invasion saw the International Fleet attacking the Formic homeworlds. After some 60 years of searching for the ideal candidate through the Battle School system, the International Fleet had discovered and cultivated Ender Wiggin to lead their attack. Wiggin trained at Command School for around a year under the tutelage of Mazer Rackham, who had just returned from his relativistic voyage. Ender was later joined by a group of other promising Battle School students to assist him in his commanding of the fleet. This group later became known as Ender's Jeesh. However, Ender and his Jeesh were led to believe that their "training" was merely simulations of real battles against the Formics by the International Fleet. In actuality, these simulations were the real battles, with Ender and his toon leaders' commands being transmitted by Ansible over the lightyears to reach the fleets out around the Formic homeworlds.
