The Pecking Order

"Hm... let's just say the data on this phenomenon is pretty sparse... I had to do some theory crafting..."

The contents below are SPECULATIVE, either from the story keeping them intentionally vague, or from the information provided being extremely minor.

Below is a ***fan-made*** chart composed some of the mentioned rankings in Hellside's bureaucracy during the story of Floraverse. All of the information below is SPECULATIVE and going off of what information the comic has given us in context, therefor, it will often be changed, updated, and corrected:
