  The aim of this paper is to numerically investigate the orbital dynamics of
the circular planar restricted problem of five bodies. By numerically
integrating several large sets of initial conditions of orbits we classify them
into three main categories: (i) bounded (regular or chaotic) (ii) escaping and
(iii) close encounter orbits. In addition, we determine the influence of the
mass parameter on the orbital structure of the system, on the degree of
fractality, as well as on the families of symmetric and non-symmetric periodic
orbits. The networks and the linear stability of both symmetric and
non-symmetric periodic orbits are revealed, while the corresponding critical
periodic solutions are also identified. The parametric evolution of the
horizontal and the vertical linear stability of the periodic orbits is also
monitored, as a function of the mass parameter.
