The Juno Reach is a subcluster of star systems located entirely within the Local Cluster.
It is situated rimward-by-spinward of the Solar Subcluster, between the Apollo Subcluster trailward and the Indian Arm spinward.
The subcluster includes seven sovereign states: the Free State of Banjuna-Mahara, Kumasi Colonial Republic, Republic of Vesta, Salamis Colonial Republic, Silvanus Colonial Republic, Tetus People's Republic, and United States of Juno.
The Juno Reach is principally comprised of 10 primary star systems: Agenoria, Dea Dia, Flora, Janus, Juno, Juventas, Portunus, Silvanus, Veritas, and Vesta.
The Republic of Vesta is the most populous nation in the Juno Reach, with almost half of the subcluster's population, followed by the United States of Juno, Silvanus Colonial Republic, Tetus People's Republic, and Salamis Colonial Republic. Most of the population of the Juno Reach are located within only four star systems: Dea Dia, Juno, Silvanus, and Vesta.
Etymology
From Middle English Juno, from Latin Iūnō of uncertain origin.
One hypothesis is derivation from Proto-Indo-European *dyúh₃onh₂- (“she of heavenly authority”), from *dyew- (“sky, heaven”) + *-Hō (“burden, authority”), reflecting her role as goddess of rulers.
Another is derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yúh₃onh₂- (“the young goddess”), from *h₂eyu- (“long time, lifetime”) + *-Hō (“burden, authority”), making it cognate with Latin iuvenis (“young”).

Demography
The Juno Reach has a population of around 588,823,785 according to the most recent population estimate with the greatest population density occurring in Vesta and Juno due to their historic status as Sanctuary Worlds. As a result of multiple worlds in the Juno Reach being historical Sanctuary Worlds, the population of the Juno Reach is formed by a diverse array of refugee populations who fled Earth during its evacuation.
Languages
Languages found in the Juno Reach include Arabic, Bengali, English, French, Hausa, Hindi, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Tamil, and Yoruba.
