The Caspian Sea was a landlocked body of water in the Middle East, and a site of significant oil drilling operations. It was bordered by Russia to the north, Azerbaijan to the west, Iran to the south, and Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan to the east. ("Day 7: 12:00am-1:00am")
Members of a major oil consortium with interests in the Caspian Sea, including Max, Peter Kingsley, and Alexander Trepkos, plotted to increase the value of their holdings, and engineered an elaborate conspiracy to drive the United States and three Middle Eastern nations to war for fabricated reasons. To accomplish this, they abetted the attempted detonation of a nuclear weapon by the terrorist group Second Wave and forged a recording that implicated the heads of state of three countries in the region. ("Day 2: 3:00am-4:00am", "5:00am-6:00am")
During Day 9, two of the U.S. military's drones were operating over the western Caspian Sea. ("Day 9: 3:00pm-4:00pm")
