      Summary: We construct and study a new near octagon of order \((2,10)\) which has its full automorphism group isomorphic to the group \(G_2(4):2\) and which contains \(416\) copies of the Hall-Janko near octagon as full subgeometries. Using this near octagon and its substructures we give geometric constructions of the \(G_2(4)\)-graph and the Suzuki graph, both of which are strongly regular graphs contained in the Suzuki tower. As a subgeometry of this octagon we have discovered another new near octagon, whose order is \((2,4)\).
