    In [\textit{R. D. Baker, A. Bonisoli, A. Cossidente} and \textit{G. L. Ebert}, Discrete Math. 208-209, 23-29 (1999; Zbl 0939.51004)] it was shown that there exists a partition of \(\text{PG}(5,q)\) into two planes and \(q^3-1\) Veronese surfaces. To every such partition \(\Omega\) a graph can be associated whose vertices are the nonlinear objects in \(\Omega\), with two vertices adjacent if their set theoretic union is a cap. The authors investigate the resulting graphs for \(q=3,4,5\) and obtain thereby a new type of generalized Paley graph.
