Caravans are vehicles that facilitate the transfer of cargo across Verra.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]

Caravans are the induction of emergent gameplay, which means you cannot predict the situation you're going to be in when you use a caravan. That's part of the risk: The risk is the unknown. If you could predict it then your ability to mitigate that risk would unfortunately remove that dynamic- that ratio of risk versus reward.^[12] – Steven Sharif

Personal caravans are used to transport cargo for one or more players.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Mayorale karavaans are used by Burgemeesters to transfer cargo between nodes with established trade agreements or alliances.^[5]^[6]

Caravans are initiated from and arrive at caravansary node buildings within Dorp (fase 3) nodes and above.^[13]^[7]^[14]^[15]

Caravans create an objective-based PvP event in the open-world that players can choose to attack, defend, or opt-out of.^[16]^[17]^[18]^[19]

PvE caravan events can cause roadways to be blocked off or hostile mobs to spawn to attack the caravan.^[20]^[21]

It is possible to launch decoy caravans and merchant ships, but there are visual hints of what is contained in a caravan.^[22]^[23]^[24] Decoy crates may be available via social organization progression.^[22]
