Backstory


The Persephone was one of the first Nimitz class starships to be built. Launched in 2252. She enjoyed the privilege of being a showpiece of the fleet and one of only a few purpose built battleships in Starfleet history. The class had been designed at the insistence of the Andorians who wanted more resources put into defense. Still being the early days of the political life of the Federation, attention had to be given to paying deference to its more influential members, the engineers at the San Francisco Fleet Yards designed a battleship. 


For the first four years of her service she ferried diplomats as her limelight was quickly taken by the Constitution class heavy cruisers, launched soon after the Nimitz class ships.


That changed in 2256 when the Klingon War began and the long neck Constitution classes gave way to ships with smaller profiles. She received a state of the art communications array, and a point defence system to allow the Persephone to coordinate fleet battles as a Command ship.. The Persephone earned the title Veteran Battleship when she was nearly destroyed holding off a squadron of Klingon raiders, allowing for a successful evacuation of Vega colony. Only a flicker in the turbo lift lights as the lift passes the fourth deck remains as a reminder of her heroism that day.


Now she and her crew patrol the Federation interior answering the calls of the needy.

The Ashlars

  In Lodge we are shown two ashlars. One that is rough cut and one with clean lines and nicely polished. We are told that the rough cut stone represents us as we are and the perfect one represents a goal. We are to make daily marks on our ashlars, attempting to bring it closer to the example of perfection. An ashlar is a piece of stone, quarried and refined, usually cuboid, but not always, which has been cut precisely to fit into a particular structure or to coincide with a specific architectural plan. The ashlar was quarried and arrived on the work site as a rough cut stone, or rough ashlar, which was brought to a fine finish by the stone Masons on site. The apprentices would have been given stones that were not as complicated. The intricate work would have been completed by the more experienced craftsmen.  In ritual we are taught that the rough ashlar is for the Entered Apprentice to mark and indent upon, i.e. chip away at. I see this symbol as the work we are called, as Mas...
