• Founding Month: January 2626
• Founder: Talia “Quickshot” Maren, a Free State Courier Rider famed for blazing across the settlements in record time — and always arriving with the right gear.
• Headquarters: Headquarters of the Frontier Supply Company, Industrial Ring, New Kourou (NE Industrial Ring Road 2)
• Original Purpose: “To keep every settler stocked, no matter the hour, no matter the crisis.”

The Frontier Supply Company operated the Frontier Quickdraw Network, a spine of more than fifty purely mechanical vending kiosks scattered across the Free State of Settlers — spring- and gravity-powered, entirely energy-free dispensers that offered essential goods around the clock.

After the 2631 Peace Treaty and the establishment of the Federal Confederation, Communardist policy nationalized all private supply channels; the Frontier Quickdraws were decommissioned in favor of Federal Allotment Centers using Allotment Cards, the company was absorbed into the state apparatus and shut down.

• January 2626: While mapping out new Trade Route stops, Talia Maren sketches the first Frontier Quickdraw prototype on a relay station data-pad.
• March 2626: The inaugural mechanical dispenser is installed at the New Kourou Food Market — offering 24/7 access beyond shop hours. It dispenses Travel‑sized Dry Shampoo & Soap Kits (from Last Frontier stock) and Emergency Space Nutrition‑Packs (sealed liquid rations), pilot‑tested nonstop.
• June 2626: After a week of uninterrupted service, settlers rave about round‑the‑clock access. Talia inks revenue‑share agreements with more suppliers, formalizing FSC’s pure‑distribution model.

• Late 2626: One additional Quickdraw appears in New Kourou’s Residential Ring—proving demand outside industrial areas.
• October 2626: Three new kiosks deploy at Firetown’s Copper Mine, Firetown Copper Plant, and Morningstar Food Market — extending reach to mining and agricultural hubs.
• Spring 2627 – 2629: Under Talia’s courier‑led maintenance, the Quickdraw Network blossoms — mechanically restocked and serviced — until the eve of the Great War in 2629, totaling over fifty machines at settlements, junctions, camps, and outposts.

With the 2631 Peace Treaty forging the Federal Confederation, Communardist doctrine mandated state‑controlled distribution of all essential goods. Private vending — regardless of mechanical ingenuity — was outlawed. The Frontier Quickdraw Network was systematically decommissioned; machines were scrapped or repurposed, and distribution shifted to Federal Allotment Centers issuing goods via Allotment Cards. Frontier Supply Company’s assets and contracts were absorbed into the new Federal Beverages & Provisions Authority, and the company ceased operations. Talia Maren transitioned to the Federal Courier Service, continuing her supply‑line expertise under the Federal Confederation's banner.

• Pure Distribution Channel – FSC doesn’t make soap, snacks or chew meats. Instead, it offers producers an “any‑time shelf” on its Quickdraw network and splits each sale’s credits.
• Revenue Sharing – Flexible contracts let established brands slide in beside artisanal makers, all under the Frontier Supply banner.
• Maintenance & Refills – Frontier couriers (once riders like Talia) restock and service machines weekly, ensuring no spring springs loose and no gravity chute jams.
