Caru

Caru ethnicity originated from Cantari people who have since settled in Taru and integrated some Taruan culture with their own. Alongside Caru ethnicity there is Faru and E-ru, with blended Federation and Taruan cultures, and Edgardian and Taru cultures respectfully. However, many Cantari immigrants prefer to identify as Cantari, even if they have not visited the country, and some Taruan people refuse to acknowledge Caru as a distinct ethnic group, with bitter sentiments from The Second Armada.
