The '''Pharos''' is a pre-[[Imperial]] piece of [[humanXenos]] technology used for [[Warp]] travel. Used to navigate the Warp much like the [[Astronomican]], except while the former acted as a "lighthouse" in the Warp the latter was a "lantern". The Pharos was an empathetic device that allowed the user to find or even teleport to a location they either consciously or subconsciously desired. A Pharos was discovered on [[Sotha]] by [[Dantioch]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] and used by [[Roboute Guilliman]] as a beacon to attract scattered loyalist forces to his new empire, [[Imperium Secundus]].{{Fn|1}}
The Pharos became the subject of battle when the [[Night Lords]] under [[Krukesh]] discovered the nature of the device and became determined to claim it in order to find the [[Nightfall]] and [[Konrad Curze]]. In the ensuing [[Battle of Sotha]], Dantioch overloaded the Device to defeat the traitors and its engines fell silent for the first time. Unknown to all involved, this act served to alert the [[Tyranids]] to our [[Galaxy]].{{Fn|2}}
