Erected from salvaged Last Frontier plating, the Factory of Schreder Pharma Inc. became the only medicines plant in the Free State of Settlers, covering everything from basic antibiotics to nano-vial injectables.
Fire damage during the crash destroyed a large share of the Manual Labor Bots, and the surviving units were reassigned to high-priority farming in the Hope Region and to Trade Route construction projects. As a result, production here relies mainly on Exohuman line workers, supported by semi-automated rigs powered by scarce Quantum Fusion Batteries. Despite private ownership, the plant is classed as critical infrastructure.
After Communardism’s rise in 2631, Schreder Pharma Inc. was nationalized and reorganized as the Federal Pharma Manufactory under the Federal Allotment Agency, with Dr. Schreder appointed as the Manufactory’s Director.

Inside is a clash of eras: dented bulkhead walls spattered with bright hazard paint; overhead, spot-LEDs flicker from power dips. Chemical vapour hisses through repurposed life-support ducting, mixing with the oily scent of lubricated piston presses. Workers in mismatched ship-era smocks thread between gleaming reactor columns, while Guarding Bots click past on fixed patrol intervals, servos humming quietly.

Shifts:
| Name | Primary Use | Format | Dose & On‑Table Effect | Avg. Price | Note for DMs |
| ————————– | —————————————— | ————————- | —————————————————————————— | ———— | ———————————————————————————————— |
| SP‑AMP Broad‑Spectrum | Bacterial infections | 10‑tab blister | Restores 1 HP per hour for 6 h; advantage on disease saves | 10 K | Supply staple; scarcity during outbreaks is a great plot hook, available via Frontier Quickdraws |
| NeuroCalm Nano‑Vial | Moderate pain & field anaesthetic | 2 mL auto‑injector | Cancels pain penalties; –2 Perception for 6 h | 12 K | Often diluted for resale — check authenticity or risk inert doses, available via Frontier Quickdraws |
| DeepSleep‑X Anaesthetic | Full surgical knock‑out | 20 mL IV vial | Target unconscious (save DC 14) for 1 h | 80 K | Valuable to heist crews for silent take‑downs or hostage extractions |
| Hemobond Trauma‑Seal | Rapid clot & wound sealing | 30 g paste tube | Stabilises a dying PC; heals 1d4 HP instantly | 35 K | Counterfeit versions have a 50 % failure chance — great tension hook |
| OncoSolve Nano‑Agent | Early‑stage tumour reduction | 5 mL suspension | Removes one “disease” condition after three weekly doses | 120 K | Kept under lock at the Hospital of New Kourou — ideal objective for a stealth mission |
| RegenPatch‑D Dermal Matrix | Accelerated burn & laceration healing | 15 cm sterile patch | Heals 2d4 HP over 24 h; halves scar chance | 30 K | Loses efficacy if applied in dirty environments (apply at disadvantage) |
| BioShield Vaccine Set | Immunisation vs. Terran & local pathogens | Five‑shot card | Advantage on saves vs. listed diseases for one year | 50 K | Cold‑chain sensitive — ruined if kept > 8 h unrefrigerated |
