[Steven Universe] Is Homeworld at war with another empire?

I mean, the gems are highly militaristic, still making soldiers despite not needing them far as we know, and, strangely enough, are undergoing a resource shortage. Plus, they need massive, planet destroying weapons like the Cluster at their disposal. Is it possible that Homeworld is at war with another powerful empire?

The gems seem like they might also be the leftovers of another civilization. They seem to be a lot like sentient drones or war machines (each with specific rolls or programming). Think ultra-advanced Skynet androids. Perhaps the Gems are all that is left of the war machine of an empire long dead still expanding and building more of itself simply because that is what it was programmed to do a millennia ago.
