Great Attack

The Great Attack was a major event in Athosian history, which involved a particularly violent culling by the Wraith while the Athosians became technologically advanced. Since technologically advanced civilisations were considered a threat by the Wraith, they sent a fleet of Hive Ships to attack and proceeded to almost wipe out the Athosians. Those who survived managed to hide inside the caves on Athos, where they were able to produce stone drawings, telling the tale of the Great Attack to the other Athosians in future generations. After the attack, the Athosians halted city living and moved to simple farmers and traders afterwards.
