==History==
The Pharos array was originally constructed by the [[Necrons]] for rapid communications and [[FTL]] travel. However when The Pharos is powered by eight [[C'tan Shard]]s, one of which is [[Zarhulash]].{{Fn|5a}} When the Necrons emerged into their great slumber, the array went inactive. By the [[Age of the Imperium]] the only known surviving Pharos was on [[Sotha]]. [[Belisarius Cawl]] states that he found another Pharos elsewhere, but it was long destroyed.{{Fn|5}}
The Pharos was discovered by [[Humanity]] on Sotha by [[Barabas 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}}
