Ahh yes the cliffhanger hook. Typical in it's intent of leaving us going nuts for a few monthes or so till the next season starts, and successfully securing our attention when it does begin again... But now for a breakdown: (Theory, but more a review than theory)

I- The crate - More than likely, I'm guessing it holds the creature from the sarcafagus originally stolen by Project Freelancer. If not, probably something else related to project freelancer.

II- The mysterious boss & Carolina's return - We all knew Carolina (and Church) would return by the end of the season, no surprise there, and yes we haven't actually seen/heard if Church is still with her, but here are some things I noticed about their part in the cliffhanger... The "boss" person's voice is disguised and distorted mixing in male and female voices. ((I don't know if anyone else hears it, but the male portion of the boss' voice sounds a lot like the voice of the Councilor from project Freelancer, who never was caught or dealt with after the project fell.)) The female voice sounds slightly similar to Carolina, but not entirely the same. (For a second I thought Kimball sounded more like Carolina or Tex.)

I just wanted to clear one thing up though and this is perhaps the most critical piece of the entire cliffhanger: Carolina's comment does NOT mean she is leader of the Feds. It was said purposely to confuse viewers. But here are the top 3 reasons why she (probably 95%) isn't part of Feds.

1- The Civil War between the Feds and New Republic that they've crashed into has supposedly been going on for YEARS prior to the Reds and Blues getting there. So unless Carolina was conquering Chorus during the Meta's rampage (events of seasons 1-8), and suddenly one day said "Hey I've taken over this planet, now I'll go single-handedly try to hunt down my father and kill him on the other end of the galaxy without any help from my new army of Feds". This puts her out of the question of the leader of the Feds.

2- From her tone and how she said it, it sounds like she was listening in on the conversation instead of actually participating in it. OR it is also possible she was disguising her voice as the Fed leader to save the Reds n Blues from someone who clearly seems more open to the "Take-no-prisoners" policy in war.

3- What the HELL would her motivation be to betray the reds n blues. She owes them her life, and probably more than that for all the crap they went through thanks to her and her *ahem* family and former team.

I have no doubt that she and Church will be back in the next season. Especially since this season was a "set up" season with next season being a return to more action oriented events. Similar to 8, 9, and essentially 10. So until 12 begins, everyone relax. We all know that they may not be the great soldiers the New Republic thinks they are, but they've pulled through worse before.
