"Recently in the life of a spacecraft is a fairly general term. This unpleasantness with Rheinland has so far lasted only a few months, whereas the Stork class train has been produced solely in Rheinland for hundreds of years, with many of them returning regularly for service. If anything it most likely proves that Daumann Construction was charging us for new parts and using recycled ones. We've used other repair yards in Liberty and Bretonia as of late, but as I said, that only covers the past half year at most, and many Storks can go years without needing to undergo serious maintenance."
