[@Archmage MC] [@Kronshi] If it would be alright for me to put my two cents in, a good starting point for both the Homeworld and rebellion gems could be the emerging newborn gems. You have these two rival sides that have been grinding against each other for years until,[i] boom[/i], suddenly there's this burst of recruits and resources that are easily impressionable and obtainable. It would be interesting to see the interactions that come out of both homeworld and rebellion gems playing tug of war with the newborns, especially when used as an initial plot-device.
