[Galaxy Quest] How were the Thermians able to create the Omega 13 without even knowing what it does?

I understand that they could take inspiration from the TV version of the NSEA Protector and invent propulsion systems, shields, medical tech, even the technology to disguise their true forms and make them look human, and make them look like what they saw on TV. But the Omega 13 was never shown or described on air. It was a complete mystery as to what it was or what it was capable of doing. How can then be able to invet something when they don't even know what they were inventing? How could they create a working version of something so complex as a limited time machine and not even know that's what it is supposed to do?

The fans were able to theorize what it was supposed to do, so this had to have been based on clues and statements made throughout the show. The Thermians just created whatever device best fit those clues. That it also happened to perform that function is just a testament to the veracity of that particular fan theory.
