Obsidian: Very well. If you don't know, here's a geography lesson about the Gem Empire. It is split in 3 parts, Homeworld, where every important thing is, including the DA and army headquarters, the inner colonies, the colonies that are closer to Homeworld, in the Orion and Perseus arms, where most factories and Kindergarten operations are made, and the outer colonies, in the Norma and Sagittarius arms. That's where most of the army is kept, since a large portion of the Homeworld colonies there are on alien worlds, that they use to harness resources and labour from the inhabitants, turning the worlds there into massive factories. Usually travel from the Outer Colonies to the Inner ones takes months, meaning that reinforcements will take a long time to arrive. If the boys on Terra Prime manage to open a portal there, they could flood the planet with reinforcements and allow them to crush rebel resistance for good. Understood?

(TL;DR, Homeworld is made of three areas: Homeworld, were everything important happens, Inner colonies (including Earth), where the resource gather sites and Kindergartens are kept, Outer Colonies, where the alien inhabitants of other planets are turned into slaves to produce the Homeworld war-machine.)
