As an addendum to this, I would strongly recommend the book <em>Batavia’s Graveyard: The true story of the mad heretic who led history’s bloodiest mutiny</em> by Mike Dash also known as u/mikedash for a very engaging and comprehensive academic book about this incident and the people involved in it.
Hello all, and welcome back to SwS. This is by far the oldest event I've done, and I suspect that's why I've had a devil of a time getting the r/catastrophicfailure automod to recognize the date in the title. I'm just going to post it here anyway. I know I learned a lot while researching this event, and I hope you will learn a lot while reading it.
My primary source for this writeup was Batavia's Graveyard by Mike Dash, If you have the opportunity, it's a read I highly recommend.
As always, comments, criticisms, and suggestions are welcome. The previous episode of this series can be found here.

Batavia's Graveyard: The True Story of the Mad Heretic Who Led History's Bloodiest Mutiny by Mike Dash
Check out the reviews on Amazon or Goodreads. It's definitely more than a bloody mutiny story.
