Abstract: In this article, we analyse maximal sets of $k$-spaces, in PG(n,q) and AG(n,q), $n>2k+t+2$, that pairwise meet in at least a $t$-space. It is known that for both PG(n,q) and AG(n,q), the largest example is a $t$-pencil, i.e. the set of all $k$-spaces containing a fixed $t$-space. In this paper, we analyse the structure of the second largest maximal example in both PG(n,q) and AG(n,q).
