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.

You have just entered the Shadow Shard, a series of islands broken down into four main sections. This is, in association with Portal Corps, a miliary-controlled and supervised restricted access location. If you don't have one already, see a vendor about a Flight Pack. Oh, and make some friends because this place is deadly.
See my report for more information. It should give you an idea what to expect:
RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
*** Approved Use Only ***
History: The Portal Corps has provided access to this dimension in an attempt to keep Rularuu from swallowing up another world. He's weaker on his home turf.
Hostiles Strength: Levels 40 through 47
Suggested Squad Parameters: 5 to 8-person teams
Highlights:

The main military installation and access point from Earth
A series of islands that run more vertical rather than horizontal, home to the rare Kora Fruit
One of the stranger pockets within the Shadow Shard, the domain of another part of Rularuu's consciousness that he found too troublesome to deal with: his conscience
Home to Lanaru the Mad, an expression of the real Rularuu's frustrations at his imprisonment
