The '''Final Sanction''', also known as the '''Ultimate Sanction''', was a plan instigated by the [[Time Lord]]s during the last years of the [[Last Great Time War]]. It was spearheaded by the [[Lord President]] [[Rassilon]] himself and involved causing a rip within the [[Time Vortex]] itself which was an act considered suicidal. However, it was believed that this would allow the inhabitants of [[Gallifrey]] to ascend into beings of pure consciousness thus free of flesh as well as of time. This act, however, would lead to the destruction of both [[Time]] and all of creation itself. They were prevented from accomplishing this act as a result of the war.
Proposed by [[Rassilon]] as the last resort to winning the [[Last Great Time War]], the '''Ultimate Sanction''' involved the creation of a paradox so severe that the resulting spatial-temporal rupture would rip the [[Time Vortex]] apart.


Through [[the Master]] (during his time as [[Harold Saxon]]), Rassilon managed to allow the Time Lords and Gallifrey to escape the [[Time-lock]] surrounding the war in order to complete the Ultimate Sanction.

Proposed by Rassilon as the last resort to winning the Last Great Time War, the Ultimate Sanction involved the creation of a paradox so severe that the resulting spatial-temporal rupture would rip the Time Vortex apart.

An otherwise suicidal measure, Rassilon then devised a way of allowing the Time Lords to escape the disintegration of Creation by having the whole race shed their corporeal bodies and become creatures of consciousness alone, ones that would escape the effects of time and of cause and effect. (DW: The End of Time)

This plan was foiled when the Doctor came into possession of the Moment and used it to not only destroy every last participant of the Last Great Time War (DW: The End of Time), but also to Time-lock the Last Great Time War itself. (DW: The Stolen Earth)

Nevertheless, Rassilon nearly succeeded when his sleeper agent, the Master, used a Whitepoint Star diamond to send a physical rhythmic signal of four beats into time and space. Rassilon then locked onto that signal to use as a homing beacon through which he could use in order to break himself, and Gallifrey (and every other participant of the Last Great Time War), out of the time lock and begin the End of Time.

However, Rassilon was once again foiled when the Doctor used Wilfred Mott's old service revolver to destroy the White-Point Star, the key component of the signal that allowed the escape from the time lock, and Gallifrey was plunged back into its last day. (DW: The End of Time)

This event was foreseen by the Ood (DW: Planet of the Ood), Carmen (DW: Planet of the Dead) and the Trickster (SJA: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith). They all tried to warn the Doctor through riddles, which also informed him of his upcoming regeneration.
