The Diamonds, unique in their flawlessness, sought to expand their perfection across the galaxy. The Great Diamond Authority was the matriarchal body of Gem leaders. They were once the absolute ruling power over the Gem Homeworld and its remaining active colonies until the beginning of Era 3 and their replacement through democratic elections. Despite this, the Diamonds still seem to retain their status as leaders on Homeworld, even if to a lesser extent. Even still retaining some influence over Homeworld, the Diamonds have begun dedicating themselves to helping Gems through their new specialties. Before they changed their ways, the Great Diamond Authority had complete control over every Gem and their race's endeavors. As confirmed in Steven Universe: End of an Era , each Diamond was responsible for overseeing a specific part of Homeworld society. White was the leader and in charge of establishing Gemkind's identity. Yellow and Blue, holding second-tier status, oversaw Homeworld's military and culture respectively. Pink was in charge of throwing celebrations for the achievements of the other Diamonds. The Diamonds used their essence to create new Gems, who would become subordinates and dedicated their lives in the name of their Diamond. Gems were distinguished by the diamond emblem on their uniform, corresponding to the color of the Diamond they served. In order to expand the Gem race, the Diamonds took control of celestial bodies for colonization purposes. This would allow Gems to be mass-produced by utilizing outside resources.

Here are a few of the biggest payoffs:. Obsidian, fans may note, is the enormous Gem whose form makes up the backbone of the Gem Temple back on Earth. The Gems deal in advanced technology, much of which is devoted to enhancing limbs or adding limbs or making bigger versions of limbs. And the introduction of the arm-shaped ships used by Yellow and Blue Diamond, as well as the leg-shaped ship used by Pink Diamond, suggested the existence of a sort of Gem Voltron. Steven has even wondered aloud about this at one point. The answer, it turns out, is that he would need to reform: Once White Diamond pulls out his Gem in an effort to revive Pink Diamond, Steven is left deadly ill, while the Gem goes through the stages of its own evolution from Pink to Rose Quartz to Steven. Also, the Off Colors meet the Diamonds. Once White let go of her hold on the other Gems, it becomes clear that the Pearl was under her control as well — and, in fact, had originally been a Pink Pearl.
