+Sixty hexagonal high-intensity FTL transmitter panels - each one fully half a kilometer across on opposite points - adorn a trio of arms each nearly two kilometers long that protrude from the central hub of the broadcast array. The incredible amount of energy fed to the panels means that the TCA is visible from the planets surface, despite it being constantly shrouded from the sun.

 <br>[[Image:Snoopers_TC.png|right|The Tionisla Chronicle - THE network]]
 Affectionately known as the 'Chronic', and considered by many to inhabit the trashy end of the news market, nevertheless the Tionisla Chronicle is one of the most widely read news feeds broadcasting around the galaxy with advertising revenues in excess of five million credits per year. Its blend of populist articles, local news, hyperbole and scant regard for complete factual accuracy, aimed squarely at the impecunious yet entrepreneurial small-time trader, endears it to many.
-It is one of the longest-running news networks, with an unbroken line of editors stretching back to 2781. The current editor-in-chief, Anna Mereso, worked her way up through the ranks as a reporter, finally clinching the top job by being in the right place at the right time to cover the 'Lave Blockade' of 3125 as featured in the closing chapters of [[Status Quo]]. The origin of its famous catchphrase, "Truth is, we don't know!", has unfortunately been lost in the mists of time.

The origin of its famous catchphrase, "Truth is, we don't know!", has unfortunately been lost in the mists of time.
 The Chronicle operates from its base at Tionisla, transmitting from the Chronicle Array, on wideband channel 385.2.
