Template:Infobox Organization

The Pharos Institute was a scientific organization that experimented with the latest advances in technology.

History

20th century

In the 1980s, there existed The Pharos Project, a space program designed to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations but it is not known whether that organization was or is related to The Pharos Institute. (DW: Logopolis)

21st century

In 2007, The Pharos Institute were tapping the vast potential of the MITRE telekinetic headset. However the organization had been infiltrated by Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen, who was manipulating the researchers so that the headset could be used for sinister purposes.

The technology behind the MITRE headset is of unknown origin.

Sarah Jane Smith broke into The Institute and stole the prototype for Mr Smith to examine. Korst and two other Slitheen, working in collusion with Mr Smith, took Luke Smith hostage and wired him into the stolen headset. The resultant telekinetic power was to be drained and sold off piece by piece but Mr. Smith used it to nearly bring The Moon crashing into the Earth. The disaster was finally averted by a reformed Mr Smith, whom Sarah Jane had reprogrammed with a computer virus. (SJA: The Lost Boy)

Another ongoing project of The Institute was the research of space debris with the rocks being probed for any signs of extraterrestrial life. They had found some clues in Martian meteor fragments and in 2008 had the Weserbergland Meteorite on loan for research. This allowed the entity known as the Pied Piper to terrorize Ealing. (SJA: The Day of the Clown)

One of the scientists working at The Institute was Professor Rivers. The Institute was also assisted in its research by Nathan Goss, an arrogant boy genius who was in fact Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen of the family Slitheen in disguise.

"The real Nathan Goss had been murdered by the Slitheen for his skin"

The Institute also made inquiries into the alleged hauntings of Ashen Hill Manor. (SJA: The Eternity Trap)

They were also plagued by The British Government during the The 456 crisis. (TW: Children of Earth)

Sometime after the investigation at Ashen Hill Manor, a member of the Slitheen Family stole a Matter Compressor from The Institute; he and his comrade planning to use the device to crush Earth's carbon crust into a gigantic diamond. (SJA: The Gift)

A fossilized Silurian egg was discovered by The Pharos Institute with Sarah Jane paying a visit to take a look. (SJAF: Sarah Jane's Alien Files episode 6)
