I think Hyasyoda - aligned Caldari may be fairly uncommon at the moment, which is why people are excited
They are part of the Liberal Bloc so to speak, but I've always contended that is because they are so exposed in foreign markets, they have to bend over backwards not to upset the other three empires. So even if they despised the Gallente, Minmater, or even Amarr in private, it would be economic ruin for them if they were to face sanctions for engaging in economic warfare (like the Practicals), much less support military actions (like the Patriots).
So I think there is much more leeway for a Hyasoda character's ideology than one from Ishukone. You would assume the Hyasoda board would be strongly anti-Heth due to their description as being an old and conservative corp, but you never know what happens behind the scenes, far from the public eye.
Even so, as the character this thread pertains to already stated, she has shed those shackles when she became a pod pilot so there's a clean slate to be filled, one without a lot of the preconceptions we are used to with Caldari RP.
