Homeworld was a systematic machine that progressed forward with each and every gem that was created to fill a needed slot, to be a cog in that machine no matter how small or big, how honorable, or how demeaning the part they play was. Quartz class gems preformed their roles as soldiers, Orthorhombic class gems preformed their roles as technicians, Pinacoidal class gems preformed their roles as scouters and messengers, organic gems like Pearls were servants, and so on.
Everything was perfect, just as the great Diamond authority who designed it was perfect, and as long as this perfectly crafted machine remained unhindered, and untouched by those known as off colors than it would continue to thrive and spread throughout the galaxy, as it was meant to do.
Yet one thing the Diamonds couldn't keep from happening were the flawed gems, the off colors, who appeared in each and every group of cuts created. Normally the obvious flawed gems were culled from the group upon emergence, but some would slip through. These flawed gems either struggled to full fill their intended roles, wishing to be a part of their Diamonds stately design, or they look like the other correctly made gems, only falling to the mentality and flawed off color beliefs that threatened said design. But these flawed gems were also eventually captured, and disposed of as well or made to understand their place…
After all, an existence lived not serving a designated purpose within the Diamonds design, is nothing.
