Biography

Special Warfare Center

Prior to the Battle of Earth in October October 2552, Maria tested the new Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor in Seongnam in the Kyonggi Province of Korea.

She fought against a squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers from the 340th ODST Combat Training Unit with Tactical Training Rounds in a mock battle near the Special Warfare Center. After the exercise, the armor was approved for battle and was sent up to Orbital Defense Platform Cairo Station. There, it was issued to Master Chief Petty Officer John-117.[2]

Personal and Family Life

At the time of the exercise, Maria claimed that she had retired with the intent of starting a family.[3]

Theory

Template:Conjecturalization Prior to the Fall of Reach, a single SPARTAN-II had been wounded too critically to continue active duty.[4] It is likely that this wounded SPARTAN was Maria, and that she was on Earth during the Fall of Reach. If this is the case, it is possible that she attempted to live a normal life and start a family. It is likely that her wounds had healed sufficiently by that point for her to test the Mark VI MJOLNIR armor. It is also possible, given the seeming unlikelihood of a SPARTAN being allowed to retire, that she served with the Office of Naval Intelligence in some capacity following her alleged retirement.
