===Specialist Troops===
'''The Chosen'''

In the wars of liberation, the Cibanese had little trust for the officers who defected to their cause, but still had need of their talents.  The few military men among their own ranks, such as Lumey, were not sufficient to lead the armies of the Republic.  Therefore, the ordinary soldiers would elect a committee from among their number to serve as bodyguard ''and watchdog'' over their commanders.  Though the Fifth Legion were much more confident in their new Primarch than the Cibanese rebels had been in former aristocrats, they readily chose from among their number a bodyguard unit for Lumey, on the basis of one man from each section, elected to serve for five years.  The level of representation would gradually decrease as the Legion grew, eventually falling to just one man per Corps at the time of the Heresy, but throughout Lumey's tenure they served both as a bodyguard and a consultative body.  As with much of the Fifth Legion's customs, they were content to simply call this body "The Chosen" and leave others to imagine that the Primarch had hand-picked his men.


'''Scouts'''

The desperate measures employed during the [[Al-Sherar Sector War]] convinced Gaspard Lumey that a Neophyte freshly transformed into a Space Marine could contribute to the Great Crusade even as he finished his training.  The Scouts were lightly equipped but formed up in squads akin to those of seasoned battle brothers and led by an experienced sergeant.  Graduation from the ranks of the scouts depended on the judgment of the squad sergeant, though scout squads were subject to frequent review by the Tribunes to ensure that promising warriors were not being held back.
