- "This tomb is the final resting place of Tulak Hord. The tomb's maze was built to his precise specifications. But he built his maze to hold more than just his body. He built it to secure his greatest creation--his terrible machine. The Red Engine."
- ―Ephran Zell to Sith Acolytes on Korriban
The Red Engine was a mysterious Sith artifact created by the Sith Lord Tulak Hord. This infernal machine, powered by hate and blood, contained hidden teachings of its creator. It was placed within the Tomb of Tulak Hord, and after his death, legend said that anyone who unlocked its secrets gained Hord's knowledge. However, numerous studies by scholars failed to uncover the secrets of this terrible machine, all attempts being thwarted by the complexities of this sinister creation.[3]
During the Cold War, the researcher Ephran Zell tasked an unidentified Sith with traveling into the machine vault of Tulak Hord in order to activate the Red Engine and fuel it by killing any creatures near it.

STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Old Republic—The Lost Suns 2 takes place ten years after the treaty, one week after the mission to Nar Shaddaa, and around the time of the SpecForce Incident. Since the mission and the incident are respectively part of Act I of the Jedi Knight and Republic Trooper's storylines, and the Trooper's Act I occurs concurrent to Act I of the Smuggler storyline, the general events of the Prologue and Act I for all classes can be assumed to occur in 3643 BBY.
