      This paper considers the problem of partitioning finite projective space into objects of given different types. Corollary 5. The projective space \(PG(5,q)\) can be partitioned into two planes and \(q^3-1\) quadric Veronesians. Moreover, if \(q\) is a square, then \(PG(5,q)\) can be partitioned into caps of size \(q-\sqrt q+1\). Under the lifting Singer cycle quadric Veronesians can be glued together to form larger caps of \(PG(5,q)\). For example, it is constructed a complete cap of size 155 in \(PG(5,5)\), a complete cap of size 285 in \(PG(5,7)\), complete caps of size 365 and 438 in \(PG(5,8)\) and a complete cap of size 126 in \(PG(5,4)\).
