| '''Intrepid Enterprises''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]]: ''Entreprises Intrépide'') is a {{wpl|Private Military Company}}, officially styled as a security company, founded in [[Yonderre]] in 2005 by [[Ulrich Digarde]], a former colonel of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]]. Intrepid Enterprises provides a suite of security and military services on land, sea and air on contractual basis to both state and non-state actors. Intreprid Enterprises has been categorized by critics as a private army and has been under criticism for not conforming to the laws of war on multiple occasions. Intrepid Enterprises also runs a number of training camps in Yonderre for both government and non-government security and paramilitary forces to hone their skills. | | '''Christianity in [[Varshan]]''' has been present since [[Aster's expedition]] exposed [[Crona]] to the [[Occident]] in the late 14th century. For most of its history, Christianity was illegal and practice of it was a {{wp|capital crime}}. Despite this, small numbers of Christian communities existed, and Christianity was commonly introduced to [[Culture_of_Varshan#Slavery|slaves]] through Occidental slaves. As an underground religion, a precise history of the impact of Christianity in Varshan is hard for historians to measure, but though popular among some slaves its pre-[[The Deluge|Deluge]] peak was likely capped at about 2% of the population. The [[Final War of the Deluge]] and destruction of [[Zurgite Varshan]] led to the legalization of Christianity. In the [[League-occupied_Varshan#Urcean_zone|Urcean Zone of Occupation]], proliferation of Christianity is a key policy concern. |

|
| Intrepid Enterprises has been involved in [[The Deluge|the Deluge]] since 2008 and the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]]-led anti-piracy [[Operation Khyzer Rhykh]] since 2010 fulfilling various tasks. Beginning in 2018, Intrepid Enterprises signed on to a major contract with the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] for policing and security actions on the YDF-manned [[LOTA]] airbase in [[New Harren]]. Intrepid Enterprises was also directly involved militarily in [[Cetsencalia]] and [[Quetzenkel]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]].
| | It is estimated that Christianity is the fastest growing religion in Varshan. It is particularly popular among former slaves and generally among people originating in traditionally low ranked castes. |
|
| |
|
| Intrepid Enterprises came to notoriety in 2011 when footage surfaced of their contractors sinking a pirate ship with all hands lost in the Puhktun Sea after having first captured and disarmed the aforementioned pirates. Although their actions were legal in accordance with [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] laws, the company came under harsh criticism internationally, with motions put in place to limit mercenaries in warzones.
| | Scholars have noted that Christianity has historically had an appeal to [[Arzalism|Arzali]] adherents due to the relative compatibility of the traditional Arzali concept of human sacrifice and the Christian theological notion of {{wp|substitutionary atonement}}. |

|
| | ==Terminology== |
| | In [[Hieratic Varshani]], Christianity has two types of names. The most commonly used term historically was a pejorative, "Mejada'felta", a term that can be broadly translated as "followers of the [[Orthodox_Arzalism#The_Death_God|Death God]]'s victim". This term is understood to mock the {{wp|Crucifixion of Jesus|crucifixion of Jesus}} as an incident making him subordinate to the chief deity of [[Orthodox Arzalism]]. This term was used in most official contexts between [[Aster's expedition]] and the [[Fall of Anzo]]. Varshani Christians, as well as some others in limited circumstances, instead use two related names: "Kriziztan", a literal reuse of the word "Christian", and "Husen'zelta", which means "followers of the Anointed". |
| | |
| | In most instances, the term "''Mejada'felta''" has been regulated as {{wp|hate speech}} in [[League-occupied Varshan]] with the exception of the [[Daxia]]n occupied [[Zanoma Regional Administration]], where it remains the preferred terminology. |

| ===Background=== | | ===First arrivals=== |
| Intrepid Enterprises was formed in 2005 by [[Ulrich Digarde]], a former Colonel of the elite [[DELTA]] special forces unit of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]]. Backed by [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] investors including [[NOVA]], Digarde recruited chiefly former and current YDF servicemen to form the company's initial cadre, with which he would train new contractors.

| Intrepid Enterprises was directly involved militarily in [[Cetsencalia]] and [[Quetzenkel]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. The company was notable in its ability to provide all aspects of a highly trained modern army to the less professional militia forces of Cetsencalia. For instance, in Cetsencalia, Intrepid Enterprises fielded not only professional fighting men, but armour and support aircraft such as [[AMS-72]] combat helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles and [[AMY-40]] main battle tanks. In Quetzenkel, IE contractors operated in the role of frontline advisors, fire and movement coordinators and forward air controllers providing guidance to close air support.

Intrepid Enterprises also has air support in the shape of at least six [[AMS-72]] combat helicopters and two [[FS-75]] CAS jet fighter-bombers.

| |
| ===Training===
| |
| Intrepid Enterprises runs a number of training camps in Yonderre for both government and non-government security and paramilitary forces to hone their skills, the largest of which is [[Intrepid Training Center]] which offers tactics and weapons training to military, government, and law enforcement agencies. ITC also offers several open-enrollment courses periodically throughout the year, from hand to hand combat (executive course) to precision rifle marksmanship. They also offer courses in tactical and off-road driving.

Christianity in Varshan has been present since Aster's expedition exposed Crona to the Occident in the late 14th century. For most of its history, Christianity was illegal and practice of it was a capital crime. Despite this, small numbers of Christian communities existed, and Christianity was commonly introduced to slaves through Occidental slaves. As an underground religion, a precise history of the impact of Christianity in Varshan is hard for historians to measure, but though popular among some slaves its pre-Deluge peak was likely capped at about 2% of the population. The Final War of the Deluge and destruction of Zurgite Varshan led to the legalization of Christianity. In the Urcean Zone of Occupation, proliferation of Christianity is a key policy concern.
It is estimated that Christianity is the fastest growing religion in Varshan. It is particularly popular among former slaves and generally among people originating in traditionally low ranked castes.
Scholars have noted that Christianity has historically had an appeal to Arzali adherents due to the relative compatibility of the traditional Arzali concept of human sacrifice and the Christian theological notion of substitutionary atonement.
Terminology
In Hieratic Varshani, Christianity has two types of names. The most commonly used term historically was a pejorative, "Mejada'felta", a term that can be broadly translated as "followers of the Death God's victim". This term is understood to mock the crucifixion of Jesus as an incident making him subordinate to the chief deity of Orthodox Arzalism. This term was used in most official contexts between Aster's expedition and the Fall of Anzo. Varshani Christians, as well as some others in limited circumstances, instead use two related names: "Kriziztan", a literal reuse of the word "Christian", and "Husen'zelta", which means "followers of the Anointed".
In most instances, the term "Mejada'felta" has been regulated as hate speech in League-occupied Varshan with the exception of the Daxian occupied Zanoma Regional Administration, where it remains the preferred terminology.
