The Empire of Exponent was the first foreign power to establish a colonial presence in Hindia Belanda.

The inclusion of the original text in the translation process of these literature contributed to a greater understanding of ancient Austronesian culture as present in Hindia Belanda which would prove useful to the Noordenstaaters who would later occupy the archipelago.

Establishment

Exponential explorers disembark in the port city of Anjani, 1473

After solidifying their hold on Hesperidesia throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, the Emperors of Exponent began to look elsewhere to spread their religion and draw new lands into their empire. After establishing a permanent outpost on Khayr Var, Emperor Julius II decided to prepare an expedition to the Nusantaran archipelago, in what is now Hindia Belanda, where rumour held there to be 'a vast pagan empire' rich in trade goods and spices. Led by Titus Caelestis, the first Exponential explorers with a mandate to establish a trading post moored their ships at Anjani in 1473, a port city and capital of the weakening Anjani Empire. There Titus Caelestis and his entourage were initially well-received by Raden Parawardana V, the King or Ratoe Agong of the Anjanis, who allowed the Exponents to trade at Anjanian marketplaces and establish contacts with Anjanian tributary states across the Nusantaran archipelago.

Exponential architectural elements can be found in surviving structures built in the 1500s throughout Hindia Belanda. A monopteros in Bukit Ilias dedicated to the Shia Imams was constructed in 1578, possessing elements of Exponential and local architectures. The monopteros and its surrounding gardens can be found today within the grounds of the Shia Convocation Headquarters, from where the leader of the Esoteric Shias deliver talks every evening.
