A mobile support carrier with advanced squadron repair and support functions. The Gorgon is a technologically advanced repair platform that enables fast turnaround repairs for squadrons from the whole fleet. A powered comms array allows it to transmit the results of its high-fidelity risk simulator to individual squadrons.
The Gorgon was introduced to the game Battlestar Galactica Deadlock through the final DLC (Downloadable content) expansion for season one, titled "Sin and Sacrifice." This expansion adds two ships to the game. The Gorgon is available through campagin, skirmish, multiplayer and Operation Anabasis.
Repair Bay - The Gorgon houses an empty third squadron slot which is explicitly for repairing and rearming the squadrons of other ships in it's fleet. When a friendly squadron uses the recall order, it will be given the option of which ship it would like to return to; either it's parent or any Gorgon present with an unoccupied repair bay. Gorgon repair speed can hit up to 300%, allowing them to bring damaged squadrons back into the fight in very short order. Undamaged squadrons can also recall to a Gorgon to rearm if they have expended munitions, such as the Scorpion and Vespid.
Machine Learning - The Gorgon can link with a friendly squadron, providing a bonus to it by increasing the squadron's evasion by 0.5 each time it takes a hit whilst linked. The bonus caps out at +40 extra evasion, and it stacks on top of the evasion the squadron naturally gains from it's parent. The Gorgon does not need to maintain the connection for the squadron to keep it's bonus, and it will retain it after repairs. Cerberus squadrons after full Machine Learning are particularly difficult to destroy, having 70 evasion (+30 from parent, +40 from Machine Learning).
When watching the 1955 theatrical film This Island Earth on 1980's Earth with fellow WarriorDillon and the Super Scouts, Troy recalls that he "hasn't seen anything like [the mutant alien on the screen] since the planet Gorkon". This view is echoed by Wellington, who mentions that the bug-eyed alien in the Earth movie looks like the Gorkons (TOS: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I").
Presumably, since Troy was a young child during the Fall of the Twelve Colonies and presumably never set foot off the Colonies before then, it can be assumed that Gorkon was a planet visited by the Galactican Fleet en route to Earth. This is fully supported by Wellington's quip while watching the movie.
