Juggernaut is a 5.7.11 nonoctave regular temperament, first documented by User:CompactStar, tempering out 125/121. It uses the pentave (5/1) as its equivalence instead of the more common octave or even tritave. It has a period of 1\2ed5 (1393 cents) representing 11/5, and a generator representing 7/5. This gives juggernaut an extremely low complexity with 5th, 7th, and 11th harmonics all reachable within just 1 generator, while still having only a moderately high error. It is one of the lowest-badness 5/1-equivalent or "no-twos-or-threes" temperaments, similar to meantone and BPS/lambda in their respective spheres.
The best extension of juggernaut to the no-twos-or-threes 13-limit, named "cuthbernaut", splits the 7/5 generator into two 13/11 by tempering out 847/845. The "tridecimal juggernaut" extension preserves the original 7/5 generator, and maps to 13/5 to -2 generators by tempering out 637/625.
Juggernaut contains multi-MOS scales of the families 4L 2s, 4L 6s, 10L 4s, 14L 10s, and 24L 14s. The 6-note MOS is rendered unusable because it has very large melodic steps (it corresponds to to 6*log(2)/log(5) ≈ 2.6 note octave-repeating scale) and contains too little 5:7:11 chords for the usage in no-twos-or-threes harmony.
