 ===== Legacy & Impact =====
@@ Line 40: / Line 57: @@
   * **Monopoly Debate:** The seven-year licence sparked the Free State’s first economic-ethics arguments over private patents vs. communal need.
   * **Cultural Footprint:** Pill bottles with the yellow SP logo became a Beta-Age icon; in the Gamma Age they fetch black-market premiums as “pre-ban” collectibles.
+===== Distribution Model =====
+  * **Prescription-Only Pharmacies:** All Schreder Pharma products were shipped in bulk from the New Kourou plant straight to licensed pharmacies across the Free State of Settlers. Settlers needed a valid prescription to pick up anything beyond basic first‑aid supplies—no walk‑ins for the high‑grade stuff.
+  * **Frontier Quickdraw Availability:** The only exceptions were SP‑AMP Broad‑Spectrum and NeuroCalm Nano‑Vial, which also made their way into [[frontier_quickdraw_network|Frontier Quickdraw dispensers]] run by the [[Frontier Supply Company|Frontier Supply Company]]. Those two could be grabbed on the fly, no prescription required—perfect for miner’s blisters or sudden aches on a long haul.
+  * **Logistics & Cold‑Chain:** Shipments to remote outposts went via refrigerated cargo pods of the [[new_kourou_courier_service|New Kourou Courier Service]] and the [[firetown_courier_service|Firetown Courier Service]] to keep cold‑sensitive vaccines and nano‑suspensions stable. Delays over 8 h could spoil BioShield sets, so Quickdraw caches were refilled weekly.
