Despite the attempts to dismantle the Pharos, the Necron technology of the Pharos activated its self-repair functions and quietly the Pharos facility rebuilt itself. Millennia later, the formation of the [[Great Rift]] reactivated the now fully-repaired and operational Pharos, which was noted by the now-reborn Scythes of the Emperor. [[Archmagos]] [[Belisarius Cawl]] led an expedition to study and perhaps use the Pharos to close the Rift and defeat [[Chaos]].{{Fn|5b}} Ultimately during Cawl's experiments he discovered that the device's core, a singularity, and its datacore, were both being contained by an enslaved C'tan shard of Zarhulash. Cawl tricked the shard into destabilizing the device's singularity, before using the Pharos to teleport the shard to an unknown distant [[System|star system]]. The destabilized singularity then began to collapse into a black hole. However, Cawl was able to escape with the data stored within the Pharos, including the location of other Pharos and Blackstone deposits across the Galaxy. The Pharos device itself was destroyed by the combined firepower of an Ultramarines [[strike cruiser]], its [[escort]]s and the Cawl's personal ship ''[[Zar-Quaesitor]]'' before the destabilization could create a black hole.{{Fn|5e}}
A second Pharos device has been discovered on the world of [[Planet 7/2]] within the [[Nephilim Sector]].{{Fn|6}}
