Mayoral caravans (also referred to as Trade caravans) are launched by Mayors to obtain needed resources from other nodes.[2][3][1]
- Nodes answering these resource requests must have a trade agreement or alliance with the requesting node.[3][1][4]
- Once the requesting mayor accepts a fill order from another node, a system driven caravan is spawned to transit the goods.[3][1]
- Players can participate in helping to defend the caravan if they wish.[3]
- Trade caravans can initiate world events.[2]
- Mayors who need certain resources that either they don't have enough of, or that they're prospectively investing in: they will initiate a mayor request, and any node that sees that request on the mayoral caravan drop-down menu will have an opportunity to attempt to fulfill the trade request. In order to fulfill a trade request, a node must have a certain level of relationship with that requesting node. At a minimum it has to be a trade agreement relationship; and then there's a limited number of those trade relationships that you can have; and that scales up to eventually alliance perspective. And then, once the node requesting mayor accepts a potential fill order, then a system spawned caravan is generated and the transit is completed. Players can participate in helping to defend that or not.[3] – Steven Sharif
