Electra is a tritave-repeating 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 the Sirius, Arcturus, and Canopus star names used for other tritave-repeating temperaments. It tempers out the commas 14641/14625 (the amount by which 3 11/5's exceed 117/11) and 1875/1859. It possesses MOS scales of the families Template:Sl, Template:Sl, and Template:Sl.

Chords
The 11:13:15 triad is a characteristic feature of many Electra scales, and has been suggeested by CompactStar as a fundamental sonority for no-2's music, due to being relatively consonant compared to other no-2's chords. There is also a "minor" version of this triad, 143:165:195. If 11:13:15 is treated as the fundamental sonority of no-2's music, then Electra can be viewed as the analogue to meantone.
