Centaur Homeplanet: Ethnic Groups, Global Map (Patreon)

No points for guessing Talita's ethnic group.

Most of these names are derived from the names that the Shess call the other ethnic groups, since that's where the majority of alien embassies are on the centaur homeplanet.

The centaur homeplanet has a 51 degree axial tilt, meaning that during the Northern winter, the South pole bakes, and vice versa. Most of the settled regions are in the equatorial sweet spot where it's not tundra half the year and nightless desert for the other half. 

The recently formed megacontinent forms a continuous loop around the globe, and nomadic groups generally walk entire the loop every year. Nightchasers are the groups that follow the planet's winters, entering the polar areas during their spring seasons. The sunchasers follow the planet's summers, entering  the polar areas during their autumn. The nomads mostly travel along the East Ocean's coast, so that's where the most geneflow happens in the settled groups.

The majority of centaurs living in space are from the nomadic ethnicities. The Shess call them Skychasers.
