Despite of being uniform and additionally having a single face shape only, these fall into different classes of symmetry.

This uniform skew polyhedron is easily obtained from all the triangles of a diamond lattice structure, built of ikes (for atoms) and octs (used as 3-antiprismatic links). It has genus 2.
