The '''Botza District''' is a ruined segment of [[The Last City]] long abandoned since the [[Red War]]. Unknowingly built over the [[Black Armory]]'s [[Vault Ebisu|Ebisu Vault]], this city center once housed [[Human]] refugees escaping the wilds, as well as the [[Schnell Corporation]] prior to the [[Red Legion]]'s assault on the Last City, where it has since then been abandoned. 

==History==
{{Expand-section}}
[[Fallen]] of the [[Kell's Scourge]] crime syndicate began efforts to excavate and repurpose the contents of [[Vault Ebisu]] and set up a defensive perimeter, as well as an impromptu base of operations in the Botza District. They were intercepted by [[The Guardian]]'s [[Fireteam]] at the command of [[Ada-1]] during the [[Scourge of the Past]] raid. 

The [[Botza Ruins]] were later granted as a refuge to [[Mithrax]] and members of the [[House of Light]] after they began assisting the [[Vanguard]] in dealing with the [[Endless Night]]. Settling into the ruined buildings, the Eliksni were welcomed by [[Osiris]] and [[Lakshmi-2]] to the City, although tensions between the new arrivals and the human population began rising immediately.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[Beneath the Great Machine]]''</ref>

At the end of Season of the Splicer, the tensions between the Last City and the House of Light would grow too much and Lakshimi-2 would attempt a coup of the Vanguard. She opened a [[Vex]] portal in the middle of the Botza District, which in turn killed her. The Guardian would close the portal and defeat the Vex during the [[Override: Last City]] activity alongside the Vanguard, [[Amanda Holliday]], [[Saint-14]], and Mithrax.

In the ''[[Season of Plunder]]'', [[The Spider]] brought his [[House of Spider|syndicate]] to the Botza District. He constructed [[The Ether Tank]], a bar, where he now resides. Spider would renovate the Botza District, using treasures donated by guardians that were stolen from pirates.

==Trivia==
*A series of voice recordings by [[Eido]] can be found in one of the buildings. These provide lore on Eliksni history and culture from their perspective.
