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

Highlights:

• Firebase Zulu

The main military installation and access point from Earth
