The CMC has one particular unit that stands out head and shoulders above the others. A mix of genetic engineering, selective breeding, brainwashing, and cybernetics, the specialists use lightweight armour almost as tough as the armour used by ODSTs, with an energy shield of similar strength to those used in MJOLNIR (but no recharging short of replacement of the projector unit), and a set of extremely powerful jump jets mounted in the boots & on the back to allow leaping almost 4m into the air or suddenly bursting forwards (albeit with diminished strength), as well as a set of shield projectors in their boots that create small shaped shields with no friction, allowing them to 'ski' across virtually any terrain with minimal loss of speed. They can outrun a SPARTAN-II, although only by around 1m/s, and rely on mobility to protect them from harm. They are divided into teams, with 8 specialists per team. Specialists use a unique weapon, a form of handheld railgun with high accuracy, no significant splash damage, and incredible ability to tear up targets, with the projectiles splitting into dozens of razor-sharp 'spines' when about to hit a target.
These units are only deployed in worst-case scenarios, as they have similar cost to the CMC as the SPARTAN-IIs did to the UNSC.
