* FantasticCasteSystem: The Forerunner have this.this, though the castes have been shuffled around over the millenia. At the time of the story, the Builders are on top, with the Miners just below them, the Lifeworkers beneath them, and the Warrior-Servants at the bottom. Another caste called the Juridicals is mentioned but where they fall in the hierarchy is unclear. It's also known that another caste called the Theoreticals once existed, but got absorbed by the Builders.
