Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Order 5 was one of 150 contingency orders that the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic were trained to implement for several different emergency scenarios during the Clone Wars. Order 5 dictated that if the Republic Supreme Chancellor—an office held by Palpatine—was to be declared unfit to lead the Grand Army, the Chief of Defense Staff would take command of the army until an alternative authority was determined.
