We discuss the gauge groups and matter content for genus one
fibrations with their fiber a hypersurface in one of the 16 2D reflexive
polytopes, where some of these were already discussed in the literature.
The polyhedrons are connected by geometric transitions on the geometry
side which translates into a toric Higgs branch on the field theory
side. This network structure is symmetric and reflects the mirror
symmetry of the polytopes. This allows the identification of discrete
symmetries.
