A 13-odd-limit stellated Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 33/32 143/128 39/32 11/8 3/2 13/8 429/256 2/1, with steps of 33/32 13/12 12/11 44/39 12/11 13/12 33/32 512/429. While this does reduce the largest step in the base hexany in size, it still leaves a melodically awkward gap on one side of more than 300 cents, giving this a quite distinct melodic profile. It has 4 perfect fifths, plus an additional one flat by 144/143, which gives you above average modulation options for a scale of this size and all of them have at least one third, mostly involving neutral tonalities, giving it a strong combination of familiar and xenharmonic sounds to work with.
