Truncated tetrakis cube
The truncated tetrakis cube, or more precisely an order-6 truncated tetrakis cube or hexatruncated tetrakis cube, is a convex polyhedron with 32 faces: 24 sets of 3 bilateral symmetry pentagons arranged in an octahedral arrangement, with 8 regular hexagons in the gaps.

Construction
It is constructed from taking a tetrakis cube by truncating the order-6 vertices. This creates 4 regular hexagon faces, and leaves 12 mirror-symmetric pentagons.

Hexakis truncated octahedron
The dual of the order-6 truncated triakis tetrahedron is called a hexakis truncated octahedron. It is constructed by a truncated octahedron with hexagonal pyramids augmented.

gollark: It's not as if the certificate authorities are 100% trustworthy anyway. The system is slightly ridiculous.
gollark: They do provide certificates, don't they?
gollark: Now to figure out how to actually get something done about comcast being evil, then?
gollark: It's always comcast; blame comcast, because it's comcast's fault.
gollark: It's fine for me.
