StarCitizen:Mining is a profitable activity that can be performed in a cave. Every cave offers opportunities to use the multitool, while the biggest caverns allow a StarCitizen:ROC or even an StarCitizen:ARGO StarCitizen:MOLE to enter them.

Another profitable activity, depending on the celestial body where the cavern is located, is the collection of [[StarCitizen::Category:Harvestables|harvestables]].

Caves are often the destination of on-planet Investigate missions where the player will have to traverse the depths of the cave.

Fauna

It is possible to find [[StarCitizen::Category:Fauna|wildlife]] in caves. In version 4.0, this wildlife is limited to packs of cave Kopions and Stone Bugs. Kopions are typically observed in packs of 8 to 10, but heads of as many as 18 and as few as one have been observed.
