History
The Engine of Creation was an ancient and legendary relic that was known for thousands of years even during the time of the Systems Commonwealth though it was considered largely a myth. Whilst this was the case, a map that indicated the location of this artifact was present within the Than-Thre-Kull relic known as the Hegemon's Heart. By shining a light into the crystal, a holographic map was generated of three worlds amongst which included Shintaida which was where the Engine of Creation resided. According to legend, it was stated that three individuals were needed in order to reclaim the Engine of Creation. Hundreds of beings were known to had searched for this relic with all of them perishing in the process. During the Long Night, an expedition was launched to Shintaida by Professor Mino Tabascalli to explore Shintaida and locate the Engine of Creation. Despite paying for a great deal of protection, the professor and his expedition was never heard from again and never returned from their expedition. (Episode: In Heaven Now Are Three)
After recovering a map to Shintaida from the Hegemon's Heart, Beka Valentine launched an expedition in order to recover the great relic. Along with Trance Gemini, she initially intended to take Tyr Anasazi for the mission but was advised by Trance that he would die if he came along as she came from an alternate future where it had occured. Thus, it was decided by Valentine, reluctantly, to take Dylan Hunt on the mission to retrieve the Engine of Creation. (Episode: In Heaven Now Are Three)
Background

Its mythical status meant that it was equated a similar position as that of the Holy Grail of Earth or the Viverni Hordes of Gehenna Mortis. (Episode: In Heaven Now Are Three)
Notes
- According to the unproduced episode "Code" by Robert Hewitt Wolfe, the Engine of Creation was constructed by the Lucifers as part of an endlessly cycle of war between themselves and the Spirit of the Abyss which involved the universe being destroyed and reborn. The episode would have hinted that Beka Valentine would make use of the weapon to right wrongs but it would eventually possess her and cause her to re-create the Big Bang as well as restart existence after tbe Abyss had destroyed everything.
