	Your not going to find any MC references to the Juna.  All we have on
them is fragmentary notes scattered throughout a half dozen
assessories.  What is known is this: the Juna were tri-part beings not
unlike the Xorn, but different.  They were a power thousands, if not
millions, of years ago.  They were apparently the "zoo-keepers" of the
galaxy and largely responsible for spreading all of the races around
space.  The leviathan craft (400 ton spelljammers) are credited to them,
but the hulks are so old and largely gutted, so no one knows for sure
who they were built for.  Dwarves, BTW, commented that leviathans seem
to be GROWN from a single piece of metal...
	The Juna were masters of fractiles, and used them extensively.  They
helped create the Spelljammer itself back in the One Sphere eons ago.
They disappeared at least 20,000 years ago, either vanishing into a
black hole or transfering to an alternate plane or just dying out
altogther.
	In any case, they were extremely powerful.  They had magic that could
change star systems and they could mold entire worlds to their needs.
They are creditied with the creation of Nivil (a ring world about a
distant sun), Radole (planet with one side always facing the sun, the
other in total darkness; life can only exist at the edge of the sun
side, which is in constant twilight), and Nex (a living world protected
by hundreds of suns, each the size of a small asteroid, each capable of
chasing down a really fast moving spelljammer).  They are the "ancients"
of the SJ universe; just like most Sci-fi systems make use of an
"ancient" race that existed eons ago & left behind tech more powerful
than anything found in "modern" times.
