Gilgamesh is a human colony world. It is a lawless world, mainly controlled by mobsters and Insurrectionists, and is relatively obscure as a result. The planet has a large and refined brothel on its surface.[2]

History[edit]
Human-Covenant War[edit]
In 2552, the AI 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 Dr. Halsey's MJOLNIR AI-Spartan integration 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.[3]
Gilgamesh remained untouched during the war,[1] and by the Battle of Earth, active transports still reached the colony from the Quito Space Tether.[4]
Post-war era[edit]
At some point between 2553 and 2559, Gilgamesh was the site of one of many Office of Naval Intelligence black operations, conducted by their private contractor James Solomon.[5]
Trivia[edit]
Gilgamesh was a Sumerian king that ruled Mesopotamia (specifically Assyria) circa 2650 BC. He was the Sumerian equivalent to Hercules, as he was considered a demigod of superhuman strength.
