Earth is a failed mission to try and create a new gem nursery. Rose's army won, though I think barely, so Homeworld retreated, but Rose and the others were banned from ever going home. I assume that there is a greater goal of Homeworld, and I think it has to do with fusion, not just dominating as many planets as possible. It was stated that the gems already control multiple planets (Space Race) anyways.

Jasper is against fusing, yet the Cluster was some old fusion experiment that probably took a few thousand years to grow together, since gemstones do not grow very fast. Peridot seems to just be a low-ranked servant who was following her orders to examine the Cluster, and probably nothing else. Peridot is unaware of the Gem Rebellion, probably because she was uninvolved or very young, like a child. She seems to act immaturely, and might be a little nuts.

Anyways, I don't think Homeworld cares about Earth anymore, since they either think Rose is dead or will never start anything up. However, I worry that Garnet might want to take action against the fusion experiment, and that could be a whole new arch.
