Not likely. If the Homeworld have faster-than-light ships 5000 years ago - how could they lost the to the Rebellion? They could always just stay in orbit and bombard Earth into oblivion, or just send millions and millions new rubies and jaspers against them.

It seems far more possible that they have only sublight ships 5000 years ago. It was stated, that the Ancient Colony Ships were used to put the Galaxy Warp pad on the planet. So, it seems that faster-than-light teleporter - yes. Faster-than-light ships - no.

And so if the Rebels were able to disable Earth warp pads, the Homeworld would found itself in a pretty bad situation. They couldn't just teleport troops on Earth anymore. Send by sublight ships? It's just a waste of resources; the ships would reach Earth only after a hundreds of years in flight, and their weaponry and tactics would became completely obsolete

I think each of the diamonds has something to hide that makes them either disfigured or weird. Like maybe the reason bd always wears a cloak is because she is blind as she has no eyes and doesn't want anyone to see. Maybe yd has an inferiority complex which is why she is doing the cluster.

Perhaps. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Basically since the diamonds are seen as perfect and divine beings, it'd be weird for a perfect being to have a deformity.

It would also make sense why they would fight one another if they each believed they were perfect.

The diamonds fighting one another?

Don't know that's kind of a theory, not really mine as much as others.

The most probable explanation - because the defeat on Earth could really damage the Diamond allmighty and omnipotent appearance. They present themselves to lower-rank Gems as almost divine figures: the Diamons are considered powerfull, wise, and they authority absolute.

It seems that they were able to downplay their defeat on Earth, by claiming that the planet was "considered unfit for habitation". It seems that this is the official explanation, and the Rose rebellion are either completely ignored, or downplayed like "this stupid Rose and her bunch of no-goodniks messed things up so much, that the Earth became a complete mess, and Diamonds in their great wisdom decided that this planet didn't worth resources".
But if a majority of Gems on the Homeworld would knew about the actual victory of the Rebellion - they may start to consider things. They may start to doubt the Diamond authority. They may think "well, the Diamonds screwed on Earth... maybe they aren't actually so powerfull as they wanted to be?"
And besides, there is another factor. Human race. The human race is developing MUCH faster than Gems. The humans are much more military-capable and agressive. A few centuries - just a short time for Gems - and the humankind may develope interstellar travel and became a major threat for all Homeworld empire. So, the Diamonds may also think that they are running out of time: if the humans would develope interstellar travels, they would be impossible to destroy, not facing the retalation.

Maybe. It would explain why Peridot didnt even know Gems were still on the earth. However the rebellion was known. Peridot even called it the rebellion in "it could have been great"

Thank you for the comment.

God bless you.

I think that since it is incredibly easy to destroy a warp pad, the CG likely did so. Rose, a common Quartz, winning the rebellion against the gda would be like a teacher starting a war and beating Obama. Maybe the veteran gems were allowed to keep their lives so long as they either didn't tell anybody or something. I mean if word got around about it then somebody would think to start another rebellion. That or many Homeworld treated the survivors of the war as either heroes who won or how some people treat the holocaust (it was fake and the 'veterans' are really actors who are trying to topple the government)

Since peri is a pretty young gem (maybe 1000 years at most) she likely doesn't know all of the stories about the rebellion as perhaps Homeworld didn't teach it to gems after the war (hey maybe gems get educated first and then get assigned jobs; like maybe peri had to learn how to be a technician and then got assigned one). She might know a little about the rebellion but Homeworld might've stretched the truth (there were few gems left on earth and they likely died) so the people wouldn't think twice (perhaps a la we both reached for the gun). Like maybe the gems started the colony then something happened and wiped them out.

Perhaps. We'll probably get an answer in some more flashbacks or something like that. I think it's quite possible that the HW gems were less than forthcoming on how the rebelion ended if it did end the way we think it did. Because Jasper remembered rose.

i don't think we'd get flashbacks. maybe exposition, though.
