I figure a World of Remnant type of Chapter is needed for a bit of backstory to certain events, entities and locations to create more lore within PTtabs0101's "Remnant of Universe". I also wanted to answer some questions you might be wondering. At the beginning of each main chapter, are the Grimoire quote that has some significance to the chapter and overall the story itself.
World of Remnant is an episodic documentary broadcast that is narrated by an important official, whether they be a Headmaster of one of their Huntsman Acadamies, a Veteran Huntsman, and in some cases a woman by the name of Halsey. They range from many topics, from Dust to Kingdoms to even the Grimm themselves. Compared to us, it is a primitive equivalent to our Grimoire Network System.

World of Remnant: Cabal Chain of Command
Allow me to introduce myself, the name's Marcus! I'm a seller of weapons, vehicles, and also an Agent of the Vanguard. My specialty, is the Cabal, I know more about the Cabal and their ways than the Grimoire or the Hidden themselves. No disrespect to them, their good, but I'm better, and I don't have any of their Guardian powers or skills to help me.
So, you want to know more about the Cabal hierarchy? Why I wonder, has it anything to do with the last Cabal leader in the system, Val Ma'ungh and why he doesn't elevate himself to Primus instead? Very good questions, I'll tell you.
You see, the Cabal start off as either a Legionary, Phalanx, Centurion and in some rare cases, a Colossus. The top of the Cabal military command is the Primus, which I guess is the equivalent of an Admiral. It filters down to Prim, Valus, Val, Bracus and the lowest being Brac. Valus is the equivalent of a Vice-admiral, Val being Captain and Bracus being lieutenant. As for Prim, Val and Brac, I believe these are the equivalent of a subordinate class within the military, possibly a sergeant or private.
Now in order for a lowly Cabal, whether they are Legionary, Phalanx, Centurion or Colossus to move up the chain of command and become a Brac or Bracus, it's very simple to follow…
When a Cabal army goes to war, they are effectively banished from the empire, never to return until they are victorious. If a Cabal soldier does something glorious, whether it is killing an import target, conquering enemy territory or something that makes him or her stand out from the others, when the army returns, they are then promoted by the emperor himself, to the rank of Brac. It then continues every time they go off to battle, the higher the rank, the more wars they have won for their empire.
To promote oneself without returning to the empire is strickly taboo and be punishable by either a swift execution or exile.
A/N: I didn't include the rank of Dominus or Consul in this story due to the Guardians not having knowledge of them at this point in the Destiny timeline. I'm nearing the completion of not one, but two chapters of this story, so look forward to that. Also, see if you can spot the Borderlands and Halo Easter -eggs I place in this.
