| {{Planet infobox
| | A [[UNSC]] world that is noted to have a brothel on its surface. In [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], [[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 life quite bad and his wife quite mad. Its situation is unknown as of 2552. |

| In [[2552]], the [[Artificial intelligence|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 [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]]'s [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]] AI-[[SPARTAN-II program|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.{{Ref/Novel|[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]|Page=266-267}}
