We know that the Ancient on the Auroa either found a weakness in the wraith.
Now that given that Atlantis was surrounded at the time and that they was most likely planning to retreat to the Milkyway. I have for a long time been wondering what this weakness was.
Now I am guestign that the weapon or weakness would have to be something which was immediately deployable on mass scale, meet with the Ancient morals, and would take minimal amount of ships and resources to pull off.
Me and my house mate cam up with several ideas for potential weaknesses.
The queens.
So far as we seen their are relatively few queens currently, but wiping out queens could wipe out the wraith. This could not off been the weakness the ancients was talking about, as it would meant somehow tracking down each hive with queen on, and these would been well protective, huge resources would of been required to acheive this plan.
The wraith physic network.
We know before the food shortage that the wraith had a extensive physic network that they would usually communicate through. Their several ways the Ancients could of used this during the war with the ancients, one is that could of sent out some kind of signal which disable this physic network, limiting the wraith communication capabilities. A other weapon similar in design to the wraith illusion weapon found on the could of been developed by a rogue organization of the ancients, if deployed it perhaps would given the wraith illusions, nightmare cause mass panicked amongst the wraith. A even more powerful weapon could be some which sends some sought neural shock through their entire network, killing every wraith connected to network. An other approach would be the recreation of a similar art of truth device which simply made th believes it was wrong to freed on other intelligent life. My mate thinks that Ancients would of thought all the above would of been immoral and thus would not used the technology even if they did have.
Cloning Facility
And other idea would of been the Auaroa discovery of the cloning facility. But to me that discovery would not of made sense, I mean the captain of ship seem like a smart bloke who would do anything to win the war, so to me if he did discover such a facility he would of just either rammed the facility with his whip or used drones to destroyed the facility from orbit. Why this would of been a major set back, given that by that time they already took over most of the galaxy and have ancients on the run I just do not see this winning the war.
Hoftman Drug that Micheal been using
This drug we know would derived from Hoftman who the wraith was unable to feed off. I am guesting that the ancients developed some sought retro virus which implanted genes into humans, which enables humans to safely produce the protein which prevents the feeding process. This protection could then be pasted down generation from generation. The first uses was on the hoftman planet was experiment, and the human was last one left over from the experiment.
This seem like the most likely weapon, it mass deployable, simply launch the missile through the Stargate to deploy the virus. It does not required enormous resources to mass produce a viral weapon. They could overnight deploy the virus on hundreds worlds which could then potentially takeout dozens on hives before the wraith even knew what hit them. This kind of massive disruption would at least stop the wraith advance and allow the ancient to rebuild the infrastructure.
