While Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) continues to run around in the wild defending conspiracy theories about the government, Homeland's best character, Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin), was locked up in prison by President Keane (Elizabeth Marvel) at the end of last season in an attempt to quell the intelligence community that had turned against her.
Saul will be visited by a familiar face in jail with an offer that he seemingly can't refuse: make a few statements and he'll be released from prison (where he doesn't belong in the first place). But will he take the deal and continue the fight to get rid of Keane from the outside?
One legacy of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars has arrived on the southern border of the United States. The Department of Homeland Security recently completed tests of a powerful camera, one that cut its teeth in the war zones, that captures video of entire miles of border in a single frame. DHS thinks mega-cameras on blimps and aerostats might be the future of border security -- if its analysts can only keep up with the glut of data they'll gather.

Choina was only mentioned in Mega Man Battle Network 5 (Japanese version) [1], and Mega Man Star Force 2 [2] [3], so players can't go to the local. This is the homeland of Jasmine and Meddy.
While the Caldari State is controlled by the megacorps, the strong national cohesion of the State has led to a number of corporations fulfilling various roles found in the central governments of other empires.
The Chief Executive Panel is a political entity jointly owned and run by the Caldari mega corporations. The CEOs of the mega corporations sit on the board of the Panel and make sure the mega corporations don't go overboard in competing with each other, smoothing over potential conflicts before they escalate out of control. The Panel also handles the foreign policy of the Caldari State. It is the closest thing to a Caldari government as there ever will be.
The Caldari are not known to bicker over lost deals or ruthless competition, but when they do, this is the place they come to. The tribunal is the only organization within the Caldari State authorized to cancel deals or agreements made between companies.
The Caldari Navy is smaller in personnel and total ships than both the Federation Navy and the Imperial Navy, yet they have more battleships than any other fleet and the average age of the Caldari ships is considerably less. This is because the Caldari are constantly replacing their oldest ships with newer ones, with better hi-tech equipment. The strategic doctrine of the Caldari Navy is simple: to be able to defeat any other navy in the world. Most experts believe it is.
The fragmentation of the Caldari government has often proved to be problematic when it comes to documenting events, deals and communications. The House of Records was set up by the Caldari mega corporations to act as a central source for all this information. Information on all transactions, business deals and governmental involvements within the State must be sent here and are stored in huge data banks.
The Caldari State required little in the way of ground troops until the reconquest of Caldari Prime and the war over Black Rise. Previously, the megacorporations saw to the security and peace of their own ground territories. The emergency conditions of the occupation of Caldari Prime called for the formation of the State Peacekeepers, a force that is now established as an arm of the Caldari military.
We are the State, and we have claimed our long-lost homeland. Now we are at war; united, whole and full of fire and purpose. The State calls you, capsuleer, for it needs your strength and your leadership to fend off the encroaching Gallente menace. The State will not fall. Join us. Fight. Conquer.
The ruling "Big 8" megacorps are overwhelmingly dominant powers in the Caldari State, operating as sovereigns within the corporate state and controlling the lives of the vast majority of Caldari citizens.
Hyasyoda is one of the oldest of the Caldari mega corporations, having been formed shortly after first contact with the Gallenteans when the Caldari were still in the Industrial Age. It's conservative and cautious, but adheres to the old saying: "Only the paranoid survive."
Ishukone was for a long time the feeblest of the Caldari mega corporations, but contact with the Jovians changed that. Ishukone was the first company to establish trade links with the Jovians and received the capsule technology from the Jovians, which made Ishukone billions of ISK in revenue before other companies could catch up. Ishukone is still reaping the rewards of their good relations with the Jovians and it possesses the most advanced technology outside Jove space.
The largest of the Caldari mega corporations, the KK, as it is commonly known as, has its fingers in most everything. They are manufacturers, distributors, retailers and researchers, as well as being a formidable voice in Caldari politics. Their great rivals in both business and politics is the Sukuuvestaa Corporation.
Lai Dai has always advocated quality over quantity and their products have always been of the highest standard. Lai Dai has an energetic research program and rivals the great Ishukone in technological achievements.
The only Caldari mega corporation that has focused on the entertainment industry. NOH, as they're commonly called, have always been suspected of strong ties to the Caldari underworld, mainly because many of their products cater to that social element or are on the borderline of legality.
Sukuuvestaa, or SuVee as it is commonly called, is the largest real estate dealer within the Caldari State, it is estimated that they and the companies under them own nearly 40% of all land in Caldari space. SuVee is the second largest of the Caldari mega corporations and is known for its ruthless, often unethical, business practices.
