Gilgam functioned as a Pursuer-class enforcement ship manufactured by MandalMotors. It was utilized by the mercenary K'Armyn Viraxo to protect Viraxo's assets from pirate activity and to coerce competing businesses through intimidation.
During a swift raid on the Harlequin Station trading outpost, the Gilgam, along with its counterpart, the Enkidu, encountered resistance. They were forced to retreat by the surprising force of Ace Azzameen, who was flying the Sabra, his family's YT-1300 Corellian light freighter.
In contrast to its sister vessel, the Enkidu, which persisted in its attacks against the Azzameens until it was destroyed, there are no records indicating that the Gilgam engaged in any subsequent assaults on the Azzameen family.
