• Founding Year: 2625
• Founder: Dr. Dennis Schreder — former pharmacology PhD at Last Frontier University, expert in shipboard biochemistry.
• Headquarters & Plant: Factory of Schreder Pharma Inc., Industrial Ring, New Kourou
• Core Purpose: Restore the shattered medicine supply after Day Zero and guarantee settlers access to the proven drug formulations of the Alpha Age.

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.

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.

• Key outputs: broad-spectrum antibiotics, pain-management nano-vials, antitoxin kits.
• Exohuman Workforce: Lacking spare Manual-Labor Bots (those surviving were rerouted to agriculture and Trade-Route megaprojects), the factory adopted human-run lines supported by semi-automated QFB-driven rigs—setting a low-energy template for later industries.

The company supplied ~80 % of all prescriptions filled at the Pharmacy of New Kourou and outpost dispensaries.

After the Great War the Federal Confederation revoked Schreder’s charter, seized its factory, and folded assets into the Federal Pharma Manufactory — a state-run entity aligned with Communard energy quotas.

• Crisis Bridging: Schreder Pharma’s quick start-up prevented a post-crash medical collapse.
• Human-First Workflow: Its hybrid lines proved that Exohuman labour plus limited automation could meet demand while conserving QFB power—an operational blueprint copied by the Federal Pharma Manufactory.
• Monopoly Debate: The seven-year licence sparked the Free State’s first economic-ethics arguments over private patents vs. communal need.
• Cultural Footprint: Pill bottles with the yellow SP logo became a Beta-Age icon; in the Gamma Age they fetch black-market premiums as “pre-ban” collectibles.

• Formula Heist: Players may infiltrate old Schreder data cores to steal legacy nano-drug recipes outlawed under Communardism.
• Gray-Market Dose Run: Firetown smugglers hire the party to move antique SP vials past Federal checkpoints.
• Work-Force Revolt: Line workers protest renewed QFB ration cuts—do PCs side with labour or state inspectors?
