Gilgamesh is a colony world of the United Nations Space Command that is relevantly obscure, due to its mob connections. The planet has a large and refined brothel on its surface. Gilgamesh 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]
Trivia
- 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.
- On the Halo 3 multiplayer map Orbital, one of the incoming transports is from Gilgamesh.
