Template:Ratings Gilgamesh is a colony world of the United Nations Space Command that is noted to have a brothel on its surface.
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 [1].
