SCHREDER PHARMA INC.FACTORY

Overview

Location: Industrial Ring, New Kourou
Address: SE Industrial Ring Road 4
* Surroundings: Shares a manufacturing corridor with the New Kourou Relay Station to the west and the New Kourou Robotics Syndicate to the east, forming a critical-infrastructure triangle for the settlement.

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.

Architectural Significance

Construction Material: Crumple-straightened hull beams, cargo-bay girder kits, and med-lab wall panels from the Last Frontier.
Floors: 2 in the main factory hall + single-storey warehouse.
Design Aesthetic: “Scrap-yard high-tech” — patch-welded cladding, exposed conduit cages, and gleaming stainless bioreactors side-by-side.
Power Source: Two QFB stacks in a shielded annex

Building Structure

Perimeter

Security Fence: 3 m alloy mesh topped with salvage-blade spikes, one monitored main gate.

Factory Hall

Raw-Compound Feed Zone: Drum off-loading, solvent tanks, and reagent hoppers.
Synthesis Lines (3): Automated mixers, temperature-controlled vats, and nano-filter columns overseen by human technicians.
Tableting & Encapsulation Row: Semi-automated presses; manual quality spot-checks every 100 units.
Nano-Vial Clean-Room: Gloved ports, laminar-flow hoods, and precision filling arms powered by QFB micro-cells.
Locker Room & W.C.: Personal lockers, decontam shower, and two AuroraSan toilets.
Break Room: Recycled shuttle-galley benches, hydration dispenser, and nutrient bar rack for 12 workers.
Control Mezzanine (Level 2 catwalk): Plant Manager’s console, reactor readouts, QFB status panel.

Warehouse & Logistics Wing

Finished-Goods Racks: Colour-coded totes for antibiotics, analgesics, and nanite cartridges.
Courier Loading Bay: Roller track to the New Kourou Courier Service dock; Butler Bot scans outbound crates.

Look and Feel

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.

Roles and Responsibilities

Exohuman Staff

Plant Manager (1): Oversees output, safety, and QFB allocation
Process Engineers (3): Calibrate synth lines, troubleshoot nano-fillers

————————–	——————————————	————————-	——————————————————————————	————	————————————————————————————————
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
RespiraClear Inhalant	Dust‑lung & smoke inhalation relief	250 mL nebuliser	Removes choking/suffocation; advantage on Con saves vs. smoke for 1 h	20 K	Common barter item in mining towns — can substitute for cash in Firetown
NanoClean Anti‑Toxin Kit	Venom & fungal toxin neutralisation	Dual‑chamber auto‑injector	Cures “poisoned” condition; neutralises venom (one use)	60 K	Fake kits deal 1d6 poison damage instead — nice twist for shady dealers

Security Measures

Guarding Bot Patrols: Three Guarding Bots rotate between the perimeter fence, factory hall, and warehouse loop, each armed with Guarding Trooper Stun Guns.
QFB Vault Protection: Access to the shielded battery annex requires triple authentication — Plant Manager biometrics, a Guarding Bot pass-key, and a daily rotating code.
Inventory & Tracking System: All finished-goods crates are RFID-tagged; any pallet that leaves an authorised zone without a valid manifest triggers an instant shutdown of loading-bay doors and a Bot alert.
Plant Lockdown Protocol: A security breach or QFB anomaly cues the control mezzanine to seal fire doors, cut power to synthesis lines, and page the Guarding Troopers.

Player Interaction Possibilities (Legal and Illegal)

Legal interactions:

Escort a high-value nano-vial shipment to the Pharmacy.
Diagnose a reactor-control fault threatening a production shutdown.
Negotiate emergency anti-viral batch production during an outbreak.

Illegal interactions:

Sneak through the fence to steal QFB cores or experimental meds.
Bribe a Line Worker to mis-label contraband stimulants.
Upload malware to the Butler Bot to divert crates to the black market.
Disable a Guarding Bot’s patrol routine for a timed break-in.

Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters

The factory offers layered security, chemical hazards, and moral gray zones:

A QFB overload could explode, forcing players to balance evacuation vs. saving priceless medicine.
Workers plan a strike over exposure risks—do players aid them or the corporate guards?
A rival faction wants Schreder’s nano-formula; infiltration can be stealth, social engineering, or full assault.
