Electra is a tritave-based rank-2 temperament in the 3.5.11.13 subgroup with a generator near 15/11 or it's tritave complement 11/5. The name was given by CompactStar in analogy to Sirius, Arcturus, and Canopus star names. It tempers out the small comma 14641/14625, the amount by which 4 11/5's exceed 13/11. The 11:13:15 triad is a characteristic feature of many Electra scales. It possesses MOS scales of the families 4L 3s<3/1> and 7L 4s<3/1>.
