The International Fleet was a military organization formed to protect Earth from the Formics after the end of the First Invasion.

History

SPOILER WARNING: plot details follow.

After the end of the First Formic War, the nations of the world came together to establish multiple governments, militaries, and leadership positions to defend Earth from future attacks from the Formics. Along with the creation of the Hegemony and the offices of Polemarch and Strategos, the International Fleet was formed to be a military presence in the Sol System, protecting the human race from any hostile aliens who try to invade.

Following the Second Invasion, the Fleet declared that they had positioned a huge navy of ships beyond the comet shield to guard against a future attack. In reality, they had begun sending armed starships to the homeworlds of the Formics, to launch an invasion against their planets.

The International Fleet also sent Mazer Rackham on a starship in order for him to age slower and still be alive to command the fleet when it arrived at the homeworlds of the Formics. Mazer took himself hostage and said he would not return to Earth unless they found a different fleet commander, and arranged to have the young Hyrum Graff set up the Battle School and other institutions to train possible candidates.

When the fleet arrived at the Formics' solar systems, the I.F. had found its commander - Ender Wiggin. Through weeks of grueling battles against an inscrutable opponent, Ender and his Jeesh emerged victorious by firing the Molecular Disruption Device at the Formic Homeworld, annihilating the Hive Queens and destroying the Formics for good.

After the Third Invasion, the I.F. was banned from operating on Earth except in the event of another alien invasion.

In The Investment Counselor and other chronologically subsequent stories, the International Fleet has disappeared and in its place was an Interstellar Fleet. Since the International Fleet was not mentioned in Speaker for the Dead and onward, it may be reasonably assumed that the International Fleet was later renamed the Interstellar Fleet some time after the Third Invasion. The Interstellar Fleet was noted to have been "slow to convert to the idea that destroying the Formics had been a bad idea".

International Fleet Common

International Fleet Common (also called IF Common, Common, or Standard) was a dialect of English that was the official language of the International Fleet, the Hegemony, and later The Free People of Earth.

Differences between Common and American English

There are not many differences between modern-day American English and IF Common, but here are the known ones.

  • 'Whom' is abolished from the language.
  • Several Slang terms are added to the language.
