On a higher plane,the realm of the ascended was becoming less and less like the peaceful realm of godly contemplation that it was supposed to be. The war between the Ori and the Ascended Alterans was raging with an intensity never before seen. Both sides were equally matched, omnipotent, omniscient warriors with all eternity and beyond to fight. 'The Others', the ascended who opposed the Ori, had gathered, a conclave. In their energetic forms, they were radiant blooms of light amidst the darkness. In their wisdom, they decided that they would send an ascended Alteran to guide the Dominion to glory, to a point where they would be able to develop weapons that would aid the fight on the higher plane. It was decided.
What followed was a hundred-year period of warfare for the Alteran Dominion. With fewer than 20 ships built with the knowledge of the Ascended being, the Dominion in the Pegasus Galaxy increased in size to thousands of worlds. The Milky Way homeworld of the Dominion was hidden away in another dimension with the technologies dreamt up by the ascended mind.
Soon there was no need for the ships of the Ascended fleet, and they too were hidden away in the vaults of Vis Uban, sealed away with great powers. The Dominion turned to diplomacy.
The Ascended One (as the emmissary of the Others now called himself) Prepared a message, to be sent across the universe, a psychic wave strong enough to overwhelm weak minds.
The Alteran Dominion is once more at the height of its power, and once more seeks races to contact. Come to Vis Uban, and bow before a God.
The minds of psychics intercepting this would then be buffeted by a series of images explaining the location of Vis Uban, and how to pass into the other dimension.
