Gordion is the moon in Lethal Company where The Company resides. The Company is a corporate entity that engages in unknown activities requiring a lot of scrap from abandoned, seemingly once industrialized and dangerous moons.

Players will descend onto what appears to be a loading dock in front of a colossal walled structure in the middle of a land-less waterworld type Moon.

This is where employees engage in selling their collected scrap for The Company.

Company Objective

The employees' primary objective is to venture out and collect that scrap for the company in order to meet the given profit quota. The company incentivizes its contracted employees in two ways:

• Offering credits in exchange for scrap. Employees can then use these credits to explore new and more scrap-rich moons, purchase equipment, ship upgrades and decorations.
• Discouraging failure by discharging employees should they fail to meet the profit quota.

The Company Monster

The Company Monster, sometimes called Jeb, is the creature that collects the sold scrap and supposedly operates the speaker that plays the encouraging voice lines when items are sold.

It appears to be some sort of tentacle monster. Ringing the bell too much will often result in Jeb getting agitated and killing an employee.

Selling Scrap

Scrap can be sold by landing on Gordion. It is possible to visit The Company at any point in the game without losing days. It is advisable to wait until the last day before selling, though, as the value at which the company buys scrap drastically increases as time goes on.

• Day 1: Buying at 33%
• Day 2: Buying at 53%
• Day 3: Buying at 77%
• Day 4: Buying at 100%
• Unknown Day: Buying at 120% (Only referred to in one of Sigurd's logs and is not currently in the game)

The Drill

There is a large metal cylinder, commonly assumed to be a drill located underneath the main platform, only reached by doing some clever jumps. It is speculated to be the future end of the game, as you can see that it's on a track pointed toward the Company building. It seems to have slots for some sort of button and two apparatus; as of now neither can be connected. The main cable from the button to the drill is severed and there is no possible way to reconnect it. On the wall in front of the drill is a spraypainted green circle which is speculated to be where the drill will hit the wall.

Trivia

• It is worth noting that Gordion is the only moon where time does not move. This means employees can land and take off as many times as they want, and it won't have any influence on the quota deadline.
  • This makes it a safe place to purchase items from the store without wasting valuable time.
  • Putting on a comedy or tragedy mask will not transform the player into the masked and instead just kill them.
• In the logs written by Sigurd, it is mentioned that the Company sometimes buys at higher marks beyond 100%. However, it is not possible to see this in game.
• Some hypothesize that the name Gordion was originally the word "Golden," but has been mistranslated and lost to time. This is substantiated by one of Sigurd's logs that mentions "The Golden Planet", which was swallowed up by something called "The Beast".
• In European history, Gordion was the capital city of ancient Phrygia, where King Midas ruled from. Midas is legendarily known for his touch being able to turn anything into gold.
• Sigurd's logs starts on Aug 22, 1968, and the date on the terminal is July 3, 2532, meaning that the Company has been in operation for at least 563 years, 10 months, and 11 days.
