Years: 1629 - 1629
Almost the entire native population of the Banda Islands has been driven away by 1629, starved to death or killed in an attempt to replace them with Dutch plantations.
Readings of historical sources suggest around one thousand Bandanese likely survive in the islands, and have been spread throughout the nutmeg groves as forced laborers.
Post conquest, the Dutch have subsequently resettled the islands with imported slaves, convicts and indentured laborers (to work the nutmeg plantations), as well as immigrants from elsewhere in Indonesia.
These plantations are used to grow cloves and nutmeg for export.
Coen had hoped to settle large numbers of Dutch colonists in the East Indies, but this part of his policies will never materialize, because the Heeren XVII (the seventeen Lords of the VOC) are wary of large, open-ended financial commitments.
