I'm sure Westfalen didn't have to rent out a few decks to Bounty Hunters. Nah, certainly not. But really, refresh my memory, I'm all ears.

After the Nomad war ended in 802 A.S., the resulting economic upswing in all four Houses finally gave Rheinland the financial stability to begin reconstructing its capital ship fleet. Rheinland was still the most resource rich House in Sirius, and these raw materials were in high demand as the other Houses replaced ships lost during the war. With the commissioning of the Battleship Westfalen in 803 A.S., the first of the Bismarck class, it wasn't long before more followed it.
The Battleship Koblenz was launched in 809 A.S. and was immediately stationed in orbit of the planet Holstein to protect Daumann interests from the Red Hessians. It was moved to the Schatten facility as of 814 A.S. but is still being used as a base for Rheinland Military patrols throughout Frankfurt.
I just don't get how people always pictured Rheinland as broken economy-wise (and by extension its military power, fleets, etc) while this infocard has been floating around for God knows how long.
