Ensign Gomez in 2365
Sonya Gomez was a 24th century Starfleet ensign, a junior engineer serving under Geordi La Forge aboard the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D.
In 2365 she had recently graduated from Starfleet Academy and was transferred from Starbase 173 to the Enterprise-D to serve in engineering. It was Gomez's goal to serve on the Enterprise for years. La Forge expressed appreciation for her excitement, and mentioned that she could be of better service if she learned to relax a little. Shortly thereafter she spilled her hot chocolate on Captain Picard. (TNG: "Q Who")
She later assisted in the rescue of La Forge from his captors aboard the Pakled transport Mondor. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")
Background
Gomez was played by Lycia Naff. There were rumors that she was created to provide a love interest for La Forge, but this plot line was never developed.
Apocrypha
In Pocket Books' Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers series, Gomez appears (in the post-Dominion War era) as the executive officer of the series ship, USS da Vinci, with the rank of commander. In the Star Trek: Destiny novels, Gomez had been made captain of the da Vinci.
