A 13-odd-limit stellated Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 9/8 39/32 351/256 3/2 13/8 27/16 117/64 2/1, with steps of 9/8 13/12 9/8 128/117 13/12 27/26 13/12 128/117. While it only adds two notes to the base hexany, they are well positioned ones, slicing the largest steps in two to produce a fairly even scale with 6 perfect fifths that makes a good introduction to neutral harmony. As the most complex steps are only 352/351 away from the simpler 11/6 & 11/8, they can easily be interpreted as those intervals, giving the scale even greater coherence.
