The Brood Invasion was a significant threat to life in the Terran system. In 2015, a Hive Fleet of living ships dropped out of hyperspace a few million miles from Earth and started towards the planet at relativistic velocities. A vanguard of drone warriors were sent ahead and planetfall was made in Beijing, San Antonio, and Johannesburg. Thousands of Brood drones attacked civilian and military assets alike, and overwhelmed the panicked defenders of the Earth. Early warnings issues by Charles Xavier (courtesy of the Shi'ar Princess Lilandra) prevented the defenders from being immediately routed.

A battle plan to engage the hive fleet outside the solar system was hatched. Earthbound defenders counterattacked the vanguard while space-capable defenders and allies launched themselves into the void. The fighting was pitched and desperate, the Brood Queen willing to sacrifice thousands of lives and entire living vessels at a time to gain even a slight tactical advantage.

Under the cover of this battle, a strike team of battle-hardened members of the Xavier Institute launched a covert attack at the Brood Homeworld of Acanti. There they encountered the Brood Empress who was directing the battle. The X-men were captured and the Empress prepared to infest them with parasites to turn them into Brood themselves. Jean Grey drew upon the power of the Phoenix Force to protect her and the response was cataclysmic. The Empress, all her Queens, and drones on thousands of worlds in this part of the galaxy were turned to ash. In the space of a few minutes, several billion thinking, sentient lifeforms were completely annihilated. Those few Brood who were able to escape the Phoenix's fire found themselves cut off from the guidance of a Queen.

The psychic conflagration was heard across the universe and in every demesne and realm. The psychic feedback of the genocide had ripple effects even in the Astral Plane, and every creature with even a bit of psychic sensitivity was overwhelmed by the wailing agony. The universe was put on notice that the Phoenix Force was no longer dormant, and its avatar was on Earth.
