Although the legion is a big part of the Rin war machine. There are other notable military units and armies outside of the legions.

Colonial guard:

Where the legion cannot go or are to busy to go... the colonial guard are there. They are generally well equipped (Maybe not as well as the legions) They are a good alternative when the legions are not present.



Urban Cohorts:

They are the planetary guards and riot police. Generally there ranks are made out of retired legionaries. They are used to put down rebellion and protect individual planets. They have two sets of armor the ceremonial (The Pic) and standard legionary equipment but with purple capes and crest.

Plebeium custodiam:

A secondary force, made up of poor Rin and Non-Rin citizens (Since auxilia fight to earn citizenship native born citizens could not join auxilia units.) They are not equipped with the same standards of the legions and generally get the second hand equipment. They serve as almost fodder but with some decent weapons. A military unit that supports and fights with the legion. They also help in supporting roles like mechanics and pilots. On top of that they help guard legions keeps so the full force of the legion can participate in battle.



Imperial lancers:

Although outdated they still ride into battle atop there steads. Given a small shiled generator to maek sure they don't die the second they begin there charge and ample armor and weapons to help drive a hole through the enemy.

Cacula:

Slave soldiers that have either killed their master or betrayed the state. Although generally they would be killed on sight the emperor in an act of mercy has given them a chance to regain there lost honor. They have inhibitor chips installed and given legionary arms and armor. They serve as the front line. If they manage to survive they will gain there freedom.

Numerus:

A unit of xeno's who wish to join the empire (But could not join the auxilia for some reason or another), 'lended' unit, or a unit of Xeno troops who serve as border guards. Generally they are equipped with low grade equipment and low amounts of armor.
