(for the SU theorists)

My Theory: Gems discovered there was a planet called Earth, and they decided to conquer it (Pearl mentioned there was different Gem-controlled planets). But one Gem thought the decision was horrible (most likely Rose Quartz), so they decided to rebel. This evuntually caused other Gems to side with them, leading to the Gem war. These Gems who wanted to protect Earth (the Crystal Gems), warped there and destroyed all the Galaxy Warp pads so they could never harm humanity. This made them known to Gemkind as "traitors" because they wanted to protect humanity, and they knew other Gems who didn't want to protect Earth would want to destroy them, which would explain why they would have to hide from them like they did in Warp Tour.
