Easter Basin

Revision as of 09:13, 18 May 2008 by Eganio (talk | contribs) (Added storyline relevance.)

Easter Basin is a district in San Fierro, San Andreas located in the southeastern portion of the city. It appears to be modeled after the China Basin, India Basin, and Hunters Point districts in San Francisco. It contains a naval base housing an aircraft carrier that becomes a focal point of the Mike Toreno mission Vertical Bird. Immediately to the south is Easter Bay International Airport; to the north is Downtown; and to the west are King's and Doherty.

Easter Basin is also the location of the container ship and crane the player uses for importing and exporting automobiles. Commercial establishments in this mainly industrial district are limited to a single Xoomer gas station.

Events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

When he arrives in San Fierro, Carl Johnson finds the "prize" he won in a street race with Claude and Catalina is no more than an abandoned Xoomer gas station/garage in desperate need of repair. With the urging of his sister Kendl, and his closest ally from Los Santos, Cesar Vialpando, Carl seeks out mechanics he can trust to turn the derelict Doherty Garage into a successful chop-shop. His new friend The Truth tells him of three associates of his in San Fierro that would be perfect for the job. The first, Jethro, is working on a truck at the Xoomer gas station in Easter Basin. After picking Jethro up, The Truth asks Carl to make some unexplained stops to monitor the movements of some mysterious vans on their way to picking up Dwaine and Zero in other parts of the city.

Later in the story, Carl starts performing tasks for Mike Toreno, a shady government agent heading up the Loco Syndicate, the entity responsible for the events prior to this point. Toreno asks Carl to acquire a Hydra from the aircraft carrier anchored at Easter Basin Naval Station. Carl must make his way across Easter Bay from Tierra Robada by boat in order to sneak into the back of the carrier before the loading bay doors close. After stealthfully slipping onto the landing deck, Carl takes off in the Hydra with the military in hot pursuit, and is asked by Toreno in mid-air to destroy a handful of boats before returning the Hydra to the abandoned airstrip outside Las Venturas.
