The Ballas are the [[Grove Street Families]] primary enemy and most influential gang in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]]. In the beginning of the game they are the largest and most powerful street gang in Los Santos. They are enemies with all Family sets (especially the [[Grove Street Families]]) and the Varrios Los Aztecas, and have establish ties with the [[San Fierro Rifa]] | The Ballas are the [[Grove Street Families]] primary enemy and most influential gang in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]]. In the beginning of the game they are the largest and most powerful street gang in Los Santos. They are enemies with all Family sets (especially the [[Grove Street Families]]) and the Varrios Los Aztecas, and have establish ties with the [[San Fierro Rifa]] and the [[Loco Syndicate]] for narcotics, and the [[Russian Mafia]] for weapons. Their relationship with the Los Santos Vagos is largely "hit-or-miss"; this is because the Ballas and Vagos are natural enemies on the streets (and will act with hostility upon spotting each-other), but briefly collaborate for mutual interest in the drugs trade - especially in relation to [[Big Smoke]]'s crack empire. The Ballas also collaborate with [[CRASH]], primarily for street intelligence. At some point, Ex-Grove OG [[B-Dup]] also starts to associate and collaborate with the Ballas for the interest of drugs. | ||
Upon CJ's return to Los Santos, the Ballas attempt to finish of the Grove Street Families during the first mission [[Sweet & Kendl]] through a drive-by shooting on Sweet, CJ, Big Smoke and Ryder after leaving Beverly Johnson's funeral but miss and are only successful and destroying Big Smoke's car. The OG's must then make it back to Grove Street in one piece on bicycle while avoiding the Ballas car. | |||
During the early game, the ballas are very successful at spreading crack-cocaine into [[Ganton]] and [[Grove Street]] in an attempt to weaken the Grove Street Families. By doing this, they turn members into weak and hopeless addicts while influencing high-ranking members with the money that can be made from drugs - taking them away from gang-banging (as is the case with [[B-Dup]]). However, one of their crack houses on the [[Idlewood]]/Ganton border is destroyed by CJ and [[Ryder]] on Sweet's orders during the mission [[Cleaning the Hood]]. This decreases their crack influence. In retaliation for the destruction of the crack house in Idlewood, the Kilo Tray Ballas attempt a drive-by shooting in Grove Street during the mission [[Drive-Thru]]. However, CJ, Sweet, Big Smoke and Ryder are able to catch them on the way to Grove Street when pulling out of a [[Cluckin' Bell]] drive-thru in [[Willowfield]]. A car chase follows and the Ballas car is destroyed - though Big Smoke does nothing and is more concerned with eating his food - providing one of the many early in-game hints for his true connections with the Ballas. | During the early game, the ballas are very successful at spreading crack-cocaine into [[Ganton]] and [[Grove Street]] in an attempt to weaken the Grove Street Families.
