A final assault upon Ancient defenses in the Pegasus Galaxy after the Ancients lost the rest of their territory to the Wraith. A precise length of time has never been assigned to this siege, but according to Melia's holographic report, the Wraith bombarded the Lantean system for many years.
Ancient transport ships were dispatched throughout the galaxy to recover what Ancients they could, but many were shot down before they could reach the perimeter of the city shield.
Atlantis rests on Lantea's ocean floor.Little is known if the Ancients even bothered to fight back once only the Lantean system remained. After the Wraith had claimed the rest of Pegasus for themselves this seems to be futile. Saving lives would have been the remaining priority.
After all who could be rescued were aboard the city Atlantis sank hundreds of feet down to the ocean floor, where a mechanism clamped the city into place.
