[[Aspirants]] who survive training at one of the barrack institutions in [[Ultramar]], [[human]] youths are inducted into the Chapter as [[Scout]]s, as the Codex dictates, before completing their transformation into full [[Space Marines]].{{Fn|1h}} Those who fail their trials, however, can be turned into [[Aspirant Servitor]]s, which are then used by the [[Ultramarines]] to later fatally test new groups of Aspirants.{{Fn|70}}
==Relics==
The Ultramarines hold custody of a large number of unique relics. These relics are most commonly borne by higher-ranking Marines, such as [[Space Marine Captain|Captains]], but notably honoured [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeants]] can sometimes bear relics too.{{Fn|56e}}
Occasionally, the [[Ultramarines]] may gift one of their successor chapters a relic, as a gesture of trust and respect.{{Fn|56e}}
