1017:, the resulting point set remains a unital in any translation plane whose generating spread contains all of the same lines as the original spread within the quadric surface. In the ovoidal cone case, this forced intersection consists of a single line, and any spread can be mapped onto a spread containing this line, showing that every translation plane of this form admits an embedded unital. 1033: 750:(two Buekenhout, two not), and so another four in the dual Hall plane, and eight in the Hughes plane. However, one of the Buekenhout unitals in the Hall plane is self-dual, and thus gets counted again in the dual Hall plane. Thus, there are 17 distinct embeddable unitals with 979:, either a point-cone over a 3-dimensional ovoid if the line represented by the spread of the Bruck/Bose model meets the unital in one point, or a non-singular quadric otherwise.
