Tionisla Orbital Graveyard
As described in the novella The Dark Wheel, the Tionisla system features a unique installation: the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard.
In this system, numerous tombs of famous and probably rich spacers, many of them with the ships attached to the ex-owners mausoleum, float in a shimmering disk around a Dodecahedron class space station, the home of the Cemetery Authorities.
Tionisla Chronicle Array
The Tionisla Chronicle Array - the communications satellite for the Tionisla Chronicle - was mentioned in Drew Wagar's novels. This oxp recreates it on the dark side of the main planet.

Tionisla is well known in the region. In the past it was the scene of some of the most massive battles the galaxy has ever seen. The result? The huge Tionisla Orbital Graveyard, now the final resting place of the super-rich and famous. Due to their ingrained shyness all Tionislans wear masks in public, their heads completely encased in baroque constructions. If you like good company, noise, fun, excitement - go elsewhere. (Famous Planets OXP)
This system falls under the responsibility of the Navy Command Station 3 in Isinor. (Galactic Navy OXP)

Fiction
The Dark Wheel
The Dark Wheel is a novella by Robert Holdstock. It was included with the original game Elite. The novella tells us about Tionisla:
| The best way to see the wreckplace at Tionisla is to approach it from the Sun (a reasonably safe thing to do since Tionisla, being a Democracy has few pirates in its system). Tionisla itself is a bright yellow world, and the cemetery is always between the planet and its star. As you fly close, the whole strange graveyard seems to be expanding from the circle of the world behind.
The first thing you see is a shimmering, silver disc, a double spiral of tiny bright points. It slowly turns: it's a galaxy in miniature, with the same intense blur of light at its centre, because here is where the biggest tombs are to be found. Come closer and soon you can see that the stars in this galaxy are markers, great lumps of metal, heavily inscribed with the words and symbols of a thousand religions. The cemetery is a bizarre and moving sight. The markers are rarely less than a thousand feet across. There are chrome-alloy crosses, titanium Stars of David, duralium henges, and all the strange symbolic shapes of the worlds, and the minds and the faiths that have come to die in this Star traveller's special place. |
| (The Dark Wheel, Chapter 3) |
Status Quo
Drew Wagar invented the galactic news source Tionisla Chronicle in his novella Status Quo.
| “… Unofficial reports of Thargoid craft in Galcop system space continue to increase. Sources close to the Galactic trading guild have reported that horrifying numbers of independent trading ships are going missing in various sectors and claim Galcop are losing control of the situation. We tried to get an interview with Galcop but were told a Galcop representative was not available for comment. Is a major Thargoid invasion imminent? Truth is, we don’t know. This is Anna Mereso, for the Tionisla Chronicle, Wideband channel three-eight-five-point-two…” |

Rough Guide
The Rough Guide to the Ooniverse has an entry on Tionisla.
| Tionisla – the dead centre of the galaxy, ho ho. Death might be the Great Leveller, but this is one system where wealthy corpses still hold themselves above the common herd.
You’ll have seen it, if you’ve ever done the run: the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard, “Togy” to its friends, hanging there in solemn splendour between sun and planet. A galaxy of tombs and caskets, sepulchres and mausolea, monuments to past glories and dead heroes. Dead villains, too, truth be told, because it’s nothing more nor less than hard currency that gets you a spot in this cemetery halo now, and vice pays so much better than virtue in our bad old universe. |

The Traders Almanach
| If there is not much room left in your ship, this is my advice to you: Best would be to buy computers or luxuries and transport them to Isinor. They give you about 33 Creds plus for every ton. On another thought, the computers can also be sold well enough in Bemaera or Zaalela. Of lately, there have been piracy reports from Zaalela. You just cannot mistake the Tionisla system for any other. For one, there is the giant 'Tionisla Graveyard', and then there is the vast transmitter array of the 'Tionisla Chronicle'. |
