Lesson
The Caste Room Gems

“Welcome to a very special section of the class Steven!” A chibi version of Pearl spoke, for the next few lessons we will be taking a look at how Homeworld has classified certain gems!” She turned over the chalk board revealing a black oval gemstone.

The black gemstone glowed and a chibi lodestone appeared. “Thanks for the the intro mate!” Lodestone said tipping her hat to Pearl.

“Wow that’s one of the nicer ways I have been addressed by Homeworld gems. Thanks for that.” Pearl said walking off the screen.

“Well Steven don’t know why a human like yourself cares about gem stuff but here we go.” She flipped the board over and showed spaceships flying through space. “Used to be gems just kinda ran into planets by accident, which was problematic since lots of planets are either composed of gas or rocks that yield “useless” gems. Like my little friend here!”

Hogbomite landed on her arm and nuzzled her.

“Then The Luminous Blue Diamond found a completely magnetic planet which once colonized became known as Space Australia, after a short resistance from the Space Kangaroos, she colonized it and began making us Lodestones. We proved invaluable in finding new planets to colonize, all Lodestone’s were made on this planet, I was made in Facet 13, Space Sydney.”

She chuckled.

“But I digress, the life of a Lodestone is a simple one we go out into space, track down the magnetic signal of terrestrial planets, land on them, assess their worth as colonies and what gems could potentially be made there, and report your findings to your Diamond who will decide what happens next.” As she explained the chalkboard illustrated what she explained. “Were middle class gems of around Peridot status, but one Lodestone, the manager, is higher ranked and signified by their hat.” she adjusted the hat on her head.

“Cool so you are like space explorers!!” Steven exclaimed “Do all Lodestone’s get corrupted gem companions?” He asked.

“Nah just the lucky ones.” as she said this chibi hogbomite licked her face and the both of them started laughing. “Class dismissed mate!!” the star closed around her.

Interesting Notes

 * A Race known as Space Kangaroos previously inhabited Lodestone's home planet, it's unknown what happened to them.
 * Either Hogbomite's acidic saliva doesn't work on Lodestone or she can turn it on and off.
