![]() ![]() Standing outside the traditional power structures are two distinct groups of Caldari who together make up the "disassociated." The first group is composed of those who've fallen off the bottom rung of the megacorp ladder. While the wounds are still too fresh for them to feel anything but hatred for him, they realize that to defy him openly would harm the State (and their dominant position within it) immeasurably, so for now they play along with him and pretend (as much to themselves as to anyone else) that they're not immensely enjoying giving the Gallente a black eye. As a result, they generally refuse to admit, even to each other, that many of the things Heth has done are exactly what they themselves have wanted to do all along. However, that rather jingoistic pride has been mortally injured by Tibus Heth's politically vicious rise. A small minority called for a renewed war with the Gallente prior to YC110.Ĭaldari superiority, both militarily and economically, is the chief concern of the Patriots. They are genuinely patriotic and extremely proud, less concerned with trade and more with the position of the Caldari politically and militarily in the international community. ![]() Generally regarded as the most powerful faction, the Patriots are an alliance of Lai Dai Corporation, Wiyrkomi Corporation, and the mighty Kaalakiota Corporation, who between them and their subsidiaries possess capabilities rivaling those of the other two Caldari political factions combined. ![]() They're waiting to see what happens before deciding which side to come down on, but regardless, they are prepared to take decisive action to prevent their own goals from being subverted. While they disapprove of his methods, many of his stated ideals resonate strongly with the faction. Overall, then, the Liberals are ambivalent when it comes to the Heth question. Espousing fair treatment for all, both within the State and without, they're somewhat ambivalent about recent events though disquieted by the sneak attack against the Gallente and the atrocities that surrounded it, they recognize that it would be unwise to criticize Heth's actions publicly-and though they prefer not to admit it, they too have been invigorated by the State's recent military victories. The Liberals found themselves in a severely weakened position following the death of Otro Gariushi and the undermining of CONCORD authority by the Minmatar Elders. They are the strongest supporters of CONCORD in the Caldari State. ![]() LiberalsĬomprised of the Hyasyoda Corporation and Ishukone Corporation, the Liberals bloc believes in the principles of free trade and generally cooperative relations with foreign powers. In the meantime, they're content to beat the war-drums and use the fighting as a cover for their other activities. If in the end they have to topple Heth themselves, then that's what they'll do. They're fully aware, though, that this state of affairs won't last forever, and they're quietly assembling plans to ensure that when he is brought down, the Practicals won't find themselves hamstrung by the other corporations. Generally the most pro- Heth of the three political groups, the Practicals appreciate the new opportunities he's delivered, and while being forced to cede political control to his Providence Directorate is not a slight that they will easily forgive or forget, they're generally prepared to play along with him for as long as his actions remain productive. It also takes a zero-sum view of profit and loss in cluster-wide markets. This bloc is frequently associated with organized crime and has an exploitative view of international trade. The Sukuuvestaa Corporation, CBD Corporation, and Nugoeihuvi Corporation between them make up the Practical faction, which cares little for limiting concepts like ethics. Although each individual corp is also a unique study in and of itself, containing within it many different positions and dogmas, the political mindsets of the Caldari can still roughly be grouped into three main factions. There are exceptions, particularly where employees have transferred between corporations, but these are few and far between. For the most part, what passes for political affiliation in the Caldari State is achieved at the corporate scale, with the majority of employees being indoctrinated into their corporation's prevailing philosophy. The Caldari Corporate Factions are the three power blocs in the Caldari corporate world. ![]()
