An '''Earth Benchmarking Vessel''', or '''EBV''', was a [[Spacecraft|spaceship]] which, using [[Singularity|gravitational singularities]], would punch a hole in [[space]] every tenth of a [[light-year]] and encode [[information]] into it. Once this "benchmarking" project was complete, a grid would exist across the [[galaxy]], allowing ships to know how far they were from [[Earth]] and in what direction they were headed. The ''[[EBV Nevermore|Nevermore]]'' was once such EBV, and was [[Captain|captained]] by the artificial [[plant]] [[Rostrum]].
