Unnamed Gem Warship

The Unnamed Gem Warship was a ship controlled by a Peridot and a Jasper in order to capture wanted fugitives of the Great Diamond Authority.

## Appearance

At it's core, the Gem Warship, presumably like all the others, are massive green left hands. It is unknown if there are any right hand variants or even if they are considered the same class of ship.

## History

This particular Gem Warship arrived on Earth in Beach City to defend Peridot's flask robonoids from the Crystal Gems. It left Earth with the Crystal Gems and entered it's orbit before preparing to leave for the Gem Homeworld.

Unbeknownst to the Homeworld Gems who had never encountered a human/gem hybrid, Steven was able to escape his prison cell and let the other members of the Crystal Gems out. In doing so, the reactor went critical thanks to Garnet's battle with Jasper, causing it to fall out of orbit and crash into the coast of Beach City.

## Technical Information

### Armaments

The Gem Warship is equipped with a laser light cannon in it's index finger. It was capable of anything from a charged precision shot to a wide spread. In the case of the latter it drew a line which exploded upon completion.

Upon entering Earth's atmosphere it created a shockwave that destroyed all the glass objects in Beach City. It is unknown if this is a result of it merely entering the atmosphere or if it is an unseen weapon.

### Propulsion System

The warship makes use of an unknown gem reactor which powers only propulsion. Backup systems seem to be in place to continue operating the ship despite loss of propulsion. It is located just under the palm of the hand.

### Navigation System

Navigation was performed specifically by a Peridot who had both the limb enhancers and visor necessary to properly interface with the navigation console. While it seems any Gem could interact with the console, only those who had the proper equipment could use it. The Bridge appears to be contained either in the thumb or another part of the index finger.

### Communication System

While no communication system is ever described or shown, Yellow Diamond confirms the existence of it.

### Targeting System

Targeting was also done by a Peridot. Peridot(s) used limb enhancers which doubled as a data pad to initiate targeting. It is unknown how much of the targeting system is automated. Peridot is only seen to have drawn a circle for the precision shot, and a line for a widespread barrage.

### Sensor System

No sensor system is ever shown. It is unknown if the ship has one that is not seen or if Peridot simply estimated the necessary co-ordinates based on the destruction of her plug robonoids.

### Shield System

While the warship is not known to have shield systems in place, it is heavily armored, being capable of resisting four laser light cannons and an Opal fusion's bow shot barrage. It is likely that in the case of the former the cannon technology is simply antiquated and in the latter's case it is simply insufficient.

### Additional Capabilities

The warship presumably makes use of it's own artificial gravity field regardless of whether or not it is currently affected by a planet's gravitational field. This is likely due in part to Jasper, Peridot, and Lapis' exiting the ship through the palm. Given that the palm has the engine room which is located below the atrium (under the back of the hand) it is probable that they moved through the ship upside down (relative to Earth) before departing.

It also had an slit across the back which served an unknown purpose, it is thought to be a docking point.

## Trivia

* The Gems have been known not to breathe due to their humanoid form merely being an extension of their true form, the gem. Oddly however, the warship contains some kind of life support system since Steven is able to breathe inside. This is likely a continuity error since the prison cells are not designed to hold organic life.
