Thor
Dominating the middle of the Salt Flats is Thor, the colossal fortress of Baron Flynt. Notable features include a gigantic orbital scoop on the front and counterweight at the back. Access to the interior and upper decks of Thor is gained by way of a passage underneath connecting to an elevator platform that provides a quick ride up to the upper surface.

It can be presumed that Thor had once operated as a high-yield mining rig during the human expansion of Pandora.

Thortown
Thortown is a bandit encampment nestled around the base of Thor. A med vendor and ammo vendor can be found among the huts of Thortown, providing a convenient resupply point just prior to encountering the main boss of the area.

Anomalies

 * Directly North-East of Thor lies a structure that serves as a spawn point for both Midget Bandits and Crimson Lance units. The story normally portrays these two types of enemies as hostile to each other, although these units in this location will fight together on the same side. This bug in the spawn data is current as of PC Patch 1.0.1.

Trivia

 * The design of Thor is based on a strip mining vehicle called a bucket-wheel wheel excavator. The bucket scoops and dorsal pylons closely resemble those of the Bagger 288, while Thor's rear counterweight stands in place of the conveyor system that would normally be attached to remove the tailings.
