- — Area Description
Old Russia is a toxic[1] area on Earth that was once modern day Kazakhstan during the Golden Age.[2] There was a large walled structure built here for the purpose of protecting numerous colony ships meant to flee Earth during the Collapse, and evidence of refugees attempting to escape the planet still remains. This wall is occupied by Rixis, Archon Slayer, and numerous Fallen from the House of Devils.[3] While players will explore many areas of earth in the long-term Destiny storyline, the first major location is Old Russia. Specifically, guardians explore the devastated ruins of the Cosmodrome and its surrounding area—a real-world site in modern day Kazakhstan that has long been the launch site for the Russian space program. The Cosmodrome remained a vital link to space during humanity's Golden Age, and players can see the remnants of forgotten colony ships on the launch pad during the cataclysmic Collapse. Orange, burnt grass steppes and dimly lit interiors of old buildings are a magnet for invading Fallen Soldiers.[4]
