== Overview ==
'''Firebase Zulu''' is a Hazard zone in CoH. It is the first of the [[Shadow Shard]] zones. Prior to [[Issue 16]], a hero needed to be at least Security Level 40 to enter.

The Portal Corporation has opened a gateway to a bizarre alternate dimention.  The [[Shadow Shard]], as it is called, is composed of floating islands suspended in a seemingly bottomless airspace. The military has moved in, exploring the bizarre parallel universe, and they're having a rough time of it. Strange alien creatures oppose them, and they have even encountered beings who appear to be dark reflections of Earth villains.  Firebase Zulu is the name of one military installation in the Shard, and is the major staging point for heroic incursions into the mysterious place.
