Major General '''Maria Gomes''' was the commander of the [[Star League Defense Force]]'s [[LI Corps (Star League)|LI Corps]] from at least [[2764]] to [[2784]].<ref name=FMSLDF>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 144</ref><ref name="LOD1">''Land of Dreams'', Interlude One</ref>

==History==
===Early Career===
As of 2764, Gomes and LI Corps were assigned to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and [[Terran Hegemony]] border, which has not seen any major combat for a significant amount of time. Gomes used [[11th Army (Star League)|11th Army]]'s [[Operation KOBALD]] wargames as one opportunity to try to maintain her [[Corps]]' readiness, but despite sometimes wishing for more real combat to maintain her units edge, enjoyed the escape from writing messages of condolence for fallen troops.

Already eligible for retirement from the SLDF at this time, Gomes had received job offers from group in the [[Skye]] region, but continued to favor drawing the larger paycheck her military career provided.<ref name=FMSLDF/>

===Amaris Civil War===
Gomes survived the [[Amaris Civil War]] and attended [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s announcement of [[Operation EXODUS]] to senior SLDF's officers on [[Terra]] as III Corps commander on 14 February 2784.<ref name="LOD1"/>
