I wasn't exactly sure the best way to put it, is all. Gem's don't have a biological make-up, so species isn't a correct term, which is why I initially put it in quotes. I was just looking for a term that would group gems of the same kind. Would you prefer Race? It might be more accurate from a distance, though different gems by definition would have a different molecular structure. Looking at the classification of living things, Humans and Gems would be in different Genus at a minimum, but likely a different Kingdom entirely, and due to a different "biological" make-up, different gems would be a different species within the same Genus. This biology lesson brought to you by a math major.

But anyway, this is splitting hairs and detracting from what I was talking about. What I'm saying is make different pages for different types of gems as a group and catalogue their roles on Homeworld as well as their various attributes.
