Corresponding to the northern side of the Celestial Orbital Belt, those seven islands obviously resembled the shape of the Southern Constellation.
However, in the astrology of this world, all six stars of the Southern Constellation are part of the Sagittarius constellation. Thus, adventurers naturally named them the Centaur Archipelago, echoing the Great Bear Archipelago on the other side.
It is well known that a maritime power can control a vast sea by constructing a maritime Great Wall through a series of supply points and ports on long-distance sailing routes.
These six islands also held the same significance. Only by defending them could one secure this whaling field and usher in the era of the Whale Oil Industry.
The largest of them, Island No. 1, spanned about 300 square kilometers, slightly larger than the combined area of Byron and Catherine's starting point, the Grenville Earldom in the Tayman Archipelago.
