Overview

Terra Volta is a Trial zone in CoH. Prior to Issue 16, a hero needed to be at least Security Level 20 to enter.

As Paragon City expanded in the 1950s, its power needs continued to grow. The city's forward-thinking planners conceived of a plan to provide efficient energy to meet the city's projected growth well into the next century.

Construction began in 1955 and was completed in 1959. The first super villain attack occurred 14 hours after the Terra Volta plant went online. The entire project had been plagued and delayed by interference from super villains, setting a precendent of sorts which would be continued throughout Terra Volta's entire history of operation.

Beset from all sides, the city's Heroes and the selfless efforts of its municipal workers are the only force that can keep the Terra volta complex from falling completely under the near-constant attack from multiple villain groups. Meanwhile, the aging reactor continues to pour out power to keep the city running.

You have entered the area known as Terra Volta. This is an extremely treacherous location for Heroes to patrol so you should have back up. We have been unable to establish a foothold here, so you only have what you bring in. See my report for information on the Task Forces assigned to protecting the Reactor Core.
See my report for more information. It should give you an idea what to expect:
RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
*** Approved Use Only ***
History: When Oswald Price began construction on the first electrical power plant in Paragon City in 1955, he chose this location. Local legends marked this small rocky outcrop as the intial landing point of the doomed Novus Cartago expedition of 1602. There have been constant rumors that this location is cursed. Since initial construction, Terra Volta has been plagued by problems and constant Villain aggression.

Exploration Badges

Conjunction Junction This junction was the first target of the Freakshow when they started their campaign of mayhem. Statesman and the rest of the Freedom Phalanx were able to stop their plan before it could be fulfilled.

Meltdown Covert Rikti strike teams have attempted to destroy the Terra Volta reactor on more than one occasion.

Nervous Dreck Dreck, the leader of the Freakshow, was brought to justice on this spot by Statesman. His time in jail was short, however, as he broke out just two weeks later.
