Moro

Moro was a small kingdom of the northern Moluccas, covering Morotai island and the adjacent north Halmahera coast, whose Galela-speaking people had little regional influence and fell within Ternate's sphere from the fifteenth century. A Portuguese Jesuit mission there was expelled in 1571, and seventeenth-century Ternate repeatedly deported its Christian villagers to Malayu on Ternate.
