A Thor shot is an orbital weapon system that is capable of firing a massive kinetic-energy projectile at nearly any target on Earth. The projectile is typically a mass of space debris welded together into a single projectile which is then fired at a target. The projectile impact releases energy equivalent to a strategic nuclear weapon but without any radiological fallout or electromagnetic pulse.

  • Thor shot is a term used to describe a massive weapon in space capable of doing devastating damage from orbit. Typically, a Thor shot is a mass driver that fires space junk welded together into a large projectile. It impacts with force that is equivalent to a nuclear blast, without the secondary EMP or radiation effects. Only a few corporations are confirmed have the Thor shot weapon available. Ares Macrotechnology is thought to have the most, with eight Thor shots available at any given time spread across the globe. Other corporations with Thor shots include Saeder-Krupp and pre-2059 Fuchi.

The projectile impact releases energy equivalent to a strategic nuclear weapon but without any radiological fallout or electromagnetic pulse. Only Ares Macrotechnology and Saeder-Krupp are known to possess Thor shot capability. Ares maintains its Thor network from Icarus Station. Fuchi Industrial Electronics had Thor shots, but they were decommissioned after Fuchi's breakup; one satellite was knocked out of orbit and is slowly approaching the Sun.
