  Pequeninos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pequeninos were discovered on the planet Lusitania in the year 1886 after the formation of the human ruling body Starways Congress (Around 2,100 years after Ender's Xenocide, i.e around 4,300 AD) by a group of human colonists, Roman Catholic in religion, Portuguese in language, and Brazilian in culture.
The only ones allowed to pass the fence were the scientist studying the pequeninos and his or her assistant, and they were never allowed to ask questions of the pequeninos, to answer pequenino questions about humans or to bring with them any equipment whatsoever, other than the clothes they wore.
The history of the pequeninos came to a radical turn with the coming of Ender Wiggin at the planet, who at the time was also seeking a planet suitable to relocate the one surviving Formic Hive Queen.

The novel deals with the difficult relationship between the humans and the "piggies" (or "pequeninos", since the action is set in a Catholic Brazilian research installation) and with Andrew's attempts to bring peace to a brilliant but troubled family whose history intertwines with that of the pequeninos.

The Hive Queen has also managed to make contact with the pequeninos philotically, and has told them a number of things--including the fact that "Andrew Wiggin" is not only the original Speaker for the Dead, but the original Xenocide as well, which romantically-involved xenologists Miro and Ouanda do not believe in the slightest.

And since the study of pequeninos was a very new branch of science, it didn't take long for Novinha to be expert enough, even at second hand, to offer some hypotheses.
It's her time of the month again." They had never seen a pequenino female, and the males always seemed to refer to them with almost religious reverence; Novinha wrote a series of mock reports on an imaginary pequenino woman called Reverend Mother, who was hilariously bitchy and demanding.
Their speculations on how the pequeninos combined genetic material invariably ended in jokes so lewd that it took all of Pipo's self-control to pretend not to find them amusing.

One of the problems facing Ender and his friends is that Starways Congress, the governing body that rules the Hundred Worlds and all the colonies of mankind throughout the galaxy, has sent a fleet of ships to Lusitania armed with the Little Doctor, a weapon that can reduce whole planets to spacedust.
The fleet was originally sent to discipline the Lusitanians because they broke protocol in dealing with the pequeninos, the intelligent native species of Lusitania.
But it is not simply a matter of killing the descolada as the virus is central to the native pequeninos' life cycle, and if the descolada is simply eliminated by some sort of vaccine, it would mean the end of the peqeuninos.

This third Ender novel picks up where Speaker for the Dead left off: on the planet Lusitania, Ender and the other human colonists strive to neutralize the "descolada," a possibly sentient virus that adapts itself rapidly to every attack.
Meanwhile, tensions are rising between the colonists and the indigenous "pequeninos," who rely on the descolada for their survival; and the fleet sent by Starways Congress to destroy the rebellious colony closes in with its doomsday weapon.
With the help of their family, their pequenino friends, and Jane (an artificial intelligence living in the galactic computer network), Ender and his sister Valentine race against time to resolve these crises.

 Children of the Mind (1996)
The conclusion to the Ender Sage, the fourth installment picks up where Xenocide ended: with the Lusitania Fleet bearing down on the hapless planet even as the colonists, the Hive Queen, and the pequeninos are desperately trying to find a way to save themselves from certain doom.
Congress is also shutting down the ansibles, gradually depriving Jane of capacity and threatening to end her existence unless she finds a human host willing to take her philote.
But if this is the case, then we are back into the first conundrum: Humans are nothing more than a collection of philotes (and so are the buggers and the pequeninos), which now means that they are just another shape for the same fundamental being.

As for Pipo, he called them pequeninos, and they seemed not to object, for now they called themselves “Little Ones.” Still, dignity or not, there was no denying it.
Pipo led him off without a word; since the pequeninos were so fluent in human languages, they never discussed what they had learned until they were inside the gate.
At the present rate of progress we might as well be mailing questionnaires to the pequeninos and waiting for them to dash off scholarly papers in reply.

On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and pequeninos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last.
But Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus which kills all humans it infects, but which the pequeninos require in order totransform into adults.
The Starways Congress so fears the effect of the descolada, should it escape from Lusitania, that they have ordered the destruction of the entire planet and all who live there.The Fleet is on its way and a second Xenocide seems inevitable, until the Fleet vanishes.

 Dragon/kolibri: Xenocide by Orson Scott Card
There are three distinct intelligent species on Lusitania - the native Pequeninos, instectoid Buggers with their hive queen and humans, of which the first two are unique and only exist on Lusitania.
Their survival depends on the destruction of possibly intelligent descolada virus, who in turn keeps everything else on Lusitania - including the Pequeninos - alive, and destroying it would mean killing them.
On the other hand the Hive Queen is building ships to escape Lusitania before the destroyer fleet arrives - but they in turn would take descolada with them that could then threaten rest of humanity.
