Battle School Commander Colonel Graff () will be isolated from other children Andrew, in order to sharpen his unique leadership qualities.
At first, Ander was squeezed out, but with his incredible understanding of human nature, he gradually became mingled with his teammates, and soon he was promoted to the military academy on a distant planet for further study, which was once used by the Zerg as a frontier for invasion of the earth.
