In order to kill their enemy through starvation, the Asurans began to target the human worlds and annihilate six of them killing tens of thousands of humans in the Pegasus galaxy, causing the already precarious situation to grow even worse. In the course of the war, the Wraith lost another 12 Hive Ships to the attacks of the Asurans until they discovered a vital weakness the need for the Wraith to feed on Humans. Rodney McKay, an enemy known as the Asurans attacked the feuding Wraith causing a new war to come about. Over the course of the next year, the situation would become worse as, with the help of Dr. Hives formed alliances with others and the strong ones attacked the weak in an effort to gain control of the "food supply", creating a volatile situation. From that point onward the Wraith-Lantean war was a long drawn-out, systematic annihilation of the Lantean forces.īy the time of the Wraith civil war, less than 48 Hive Ships remained in the Pegasus galaxy due to the efforts of the Atlantis expedition as well as the Wraith's own territorial instincts which were intensified by the few numbers of Humans in the galaxy to feed upon. The outward surge of the Wraith could not be curbed by the Lanteans. The Lanteans, desiring to end the war and temporarily ignorant of the massive surge in Wraith numbers, sent a large contingent of their fleet into Wraith territory They were ambushed and destroyed. They went to great lengths to capture three Ancient vessels that were powered by Zero Point Modules and used them to power a cloning facility causing their army to grow many times its original size as well as allowing many more Hive ships and Wraith cruisers to be constructed very rapidly. The Wraith needed an advantage to turn the tide of the war.
Being significantly weaker than the Ancient Warships the Wraith fleets were unable to best the Lanteans during the beginning stages of the war. Due to the Lanteans overconfidence and believing that their Aurora-class warships and other vessels were unbeatable, they sent them deeper and deeper into Wraith controlled territory to weed them out. The Wraith fleet is at minimum 10,000 years old since the war with the Lanteans. 1.3 Impact of the Asuran-Tau'ri-Wraith War.
