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. Throughout the entire Beta Age, Schreder Pharma remained the only legal drug maker of the Exohumans on VOI 700 D.
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.
Medicine was free and plentiful; production ran entirely on shipboard Manual-Labor Bots inside zero-contamination pods.
With most Manual Labor Bots melted in the fire and emergency stockpiles gone, infection rates soared. Dr. Schreder salvaged intact bioreactors, rebuilt them in New Kourou, and began small-batch synthesis using volunteer chemists.
The Free State’s licence shielded Schreder Pharma from competition.
The company supplied ~80 % of all prescriptions filled at the Pharmacy of New Kourou and outpost dispensaries.
After the Great War the Federal Confederation seized the factory, and folded assets into the Federal Pharma Manufactory — a state-run entity aligned with Communard energy quotas.
