Gilgamesh is a colony world of the United Nations Space Command that is noted to have a brothel on its surface. The colony is lawless and is mainly controlled by mobsters and Insurrectionists. [1]
In 2552, an A.I. construct, Cortana, wired a transfer of funds to the Gilgamesh brothel, masquerading as Colonel James Ackerson. This was her form of payback for his heavy-handed attempt to make sure that the MJOLNIR shield test failed. Since the brothel would send a confirmation of this action, she knew that this action would make his wife quite mad and in turn disrupt his life.[2]
Gilgamesh apparently still existed during the Battle of Earth, as evidenced by active transports from the colony to the Quito Space Tether.[3]
