While players will explore many areas of Earth in the long-term ''Destiny'' storyline, the first major location is Old Russia. Specifically, Guardians are first revived by their [[Ghost]]s just outside the devastated ruins of the [[Cosmodrome]] in [[A Guardian Rises]], and explore its surrounding area—a real-world site in modern day Kazakhstan that has long been the launch site for the Russian space program.
