'''Gilgamesh''' is a [[human]] [[human colonies|colony world]]. It is a lawless world, mainly controlled by mobsters and [[Insurrectionist]]s, and is relatively obscure as a result. The planet has a large and refined brothel on its surface.{{Ref/Book|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]|Page=330}}


==Overview==
In [[2552]], an A.I. contruct, [[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 <ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 266-267</ref>.
