Abstract
A generalised hexagon of order is said to be \emph{extremal} if meets the Haemers-Roos bound, that is, . The \emph{dual twisted triality hexagons} associated to the exceptional Lie type groups have these parameters, and are the only known such examples. It was shown in the work of De Bruyn and Vanhove that an extremal generalised hexagon has no 1-ovoids. In this note, we prove that a dual twisted triality hexagon has no -ovoids for every possible (nontrivial) value of , except for the isolated case where and .
