The '''Fall of Gallifrey''' ([[GAME]]: ''[[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'') was the final battle of the [[Last Great Time War]] between the [[Dalek Empire]] and the [[Time Lord]]s of [[Gallifrey]].  


On the last day of the Time War, after the Daleks attacked [[Arcadia (city)|Arcadia]] and the [[Fall of Arcadia|city fell]], the Daleks focused their attention on bombarding the planet from orbit, whilst the War Doctor stole the Moment, intending to destroy other sides to finally end the War. However with help from his other incarnations, he found a way to save Gallifrey whilst destroying all the Daleks in orbit. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

Other accounts suggested the War had ended in different ways. One different account of the fall claimed the [[Eighth Doctor]] detonated [[the Moment]], destroying both the Daleks and his own people. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)|Doctor Who and the Time War]]'') Another account claimed the final battle had been the [[Last Battle of the Seventh Galaxy]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eyeless (novel)|The Eyeless]]'')

Whilst rumours spread of the fall of Arcadia and a new front opened at the [[Last Hour]], the Time Lords were alerted that the [[First Doctor]]’s timeline was under attack by the Daleks. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The First Doctor: Volume Two trailer (audio story)|Volume Two trailer]]'') [[The Player (The Plague of Dreams)|The Player]] was recruited to meet the Doctor and convince him to go the [[South Pole]] to keep his timeline on track.

Arcadia fell to the Daleks, with the Doctor fighting on the frontlines. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'') On the battlefield one soldier encountered the Doctor. The Doctor borrowed his [[fusion blaster]] and left a message for the Time Lords carved into a wall: NO MORE. He then proceeded to the [[Time Vaults]] and stole the last weapon in the [[Omega Arsenal]] - [[the Moment]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') disappearing from the Time Lords’ observation. His intent was to destroy Daleks and Time Lords alike. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

As the Daleks approached the [[Capitol]], hundreds of Time Lords recorded their cherished memories into [[Memory lantern|memory lanterns]] and set them adrift in the Time Vortex. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Memory of Winter (audio story)|The Memory of Winter]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Memory Feast (comic story)|The Memory Feast]]'') Unable to breach the Capitol’s sky trenches, the Daleks surrounded Gallifrey and began bombarding the planet from orbit with all their remaining ships.

=== The Ultimate Sanction ===
With the planet utterly surrounded and on the verge of destruction, the [[President of the High Council]], [[Rassilon]], grew more desperate and refused to admit defeat. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'') After [[the Visionary]] revealed two Time Lords would survive the coming fall, the Doctor and [[the Master]], Rassilon devised the [[Ultimate Sanction]]. A link was forged with the future Master on Earth in [[2009]] by implanting a signal, a rythmn of four beats, in his mind as a child via the [[Untempered Schism]]. Rassilon then sent a [[White-Point Star]] to the Master to make the link physical, bypassing the time lock. With the signal inside him and six billion humans converted by the [[Immortality Gate]] into [[the Master Race]] to triangulate it, the Master made a connection with the Time Lords' signal.  
With the planet utterly surrounded and on the verge of destruction, the [[President of the High Council]], [[Rassilon]], grew more desperate and refused to admit defeat. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'') After [[the Visionary]] revealed two Time Lords would survive the coming fall, the Doctor and {{Simm}}, Rassilon devised the [[Ultimate Sanction]]. A link was forged with the future Master on Earth in [[2009]] by implanting a signal, a rythmn of four beats, in his mind as a child via the [[Untempered Schism]]. Rassilon then sent a [[White-Point Star]] to the Master to make the link physical, bypassing the time lock. With the signal inside him and six billion humans converted by the [[Immortality Gate]] into [[the Master Race]] to triangulate it, the Master made a connection with the Time Lords' signal. Rassilon planned to use this link to break Gallifrey out of the time lock, beginning a chain reaction which would tear the Time Vortex apart and destroy the universe entirely which would enable the Time Lords to ascend to beings of pure consciousness. 


Before proceeding, Rassilon put the Sanction to the vote of the High Council. Only two opposed; [[The Woman (The End of Time)|the woman]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') and the [[Patriarch of Stillhaven]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lords and Masters (short story)|Lords and Masters]]'') Rassilon led a delegation to Earth, flanked by four Time Lords including the two opponents, who he had kneel in shame, where he confronted the Master and the [[Tenth Doctor]]. With the time lock broken, Gallifrey itself began to manifest above Earth which the Doctor warned was just the beginning; all the terrors of the war were descending. The Doctor broke the connection by shooting the White-Point Star, sending the Time Lords and Gallifrey back to the Time War. The Master decided to take revenge on Rassilon for making him a monster and attacked him, being brought back into the War with him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') Rassilon's battle with the Master caused him to [[Regeneration|regenerate]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Pandoric's Box (short story)|Pandoric's Box]]'') reportedly because the Master "shoved White Point Stars down his throat". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lords and Masters (short story)|Lords and Masters]]'')
