| Schreder Pharma arose in the chaos following the crash-landing, when fire destroyed most shipboard medical stores and hundreds of settlers required antibiotics, analgesics, and nano-injectables. Backed by personal capital and salvaged lab gear, Dr. Schreder constructed a two-line plant in the Industrial Ring and, for his risk-taking, received a seven-year exclusive licence from the newborn [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]]. Throughout the entire [[beta_age|Beta Age]], Schreder Pharma remained the only legal drug maker of the [[the_humans|Exohumans]] on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D.]] | Schreder Pharma arose in the chaos following the crash-landing, when fire destroyed most shipboard medical stores and hundreds of settlers required antibiotics, analgesics, and nano-injectables.

| | ===== 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. |
