In Discovery, we did have representation of this through Valhalla Shipyard. Rheinland's fabrication style for a long time was "Cheap, sturdy, easy to build", and the massively powerful shipyards like Valhalla and The Ring/Oder Shipyard, and later Schatten, Alster (post-buffing) and Sommerda were legitimate Fleet Printers™ for the industrialist Rheinland Military.

Valhalla, along with the Thuringia system, are not vanilla, but here's the infocard as it exists ingame today.

Valhalla Shipyard Wreck Infocard Wrote:During the 80-Years War, Rheinland’s Imperial Navy aimed to limit political criticism by concealing the scale of the war's casualties. Valhalla was constructed in 588 AS to provide discrete repair and shipbreaking capabilities for damaged capital ships. Valhalla was abandoned following the economic collapse at the end of the war and remained derelict until 798 AS. Restored as a part of Chancellor Niemann’s remilitarization program, Valhalla was used to produce the mysterious Cloaking Devices retrofitted to many Rheinland ships during the Colony Wars.

Following Niemann’s disappearance, the Rheinland Northern Fleet retreated from Kusari to moorings at Valhalla. When Thuringia came under joint attack by The Order and the newly formed MND in 802 AS, much of the fleet fled, stripping and then scuttling the shipyard behind them. Valhalla was most recently rebuilt as a service yard in 817 AS, owing to increased demand from the Hudson War. In 823 AS, the MND quarantined the station, claiming an industrial accident had contaminated the facility. Wild attacks would become increasingly common across Thuringia thereafter.

In early 834 AS, the Rheinland Battleship Kolleda was towed to the perimeter of the Salzungenebel quarantine zone. The battleship’s presence provoked an immediate response from Wild patrols, with the MND and Rheinland Military devoting significant resources to the Kolleda’s protection. After several days of brutal fighting, Valhalla was abruptly reduced to wreckage by a powerful energy blast. Similar readings were detected near the Kolleda, which exploded shortly after.

I believe, in the current political undercurrents, the only thing stopping Rheinland from printing an absolutely massive fleet is resources; they simply don't have the raw materials to do so. Which this waystation that the Core are trying to set up in Sigma-17 could change heavily, as a lawful encampment that compliments the trade of both Iridium and Xeno Relics/Artifacts from the Omicrons. DHC and Core were close allies in the past, one having a base directly over the other's planet, so we may yet see the Rheinland Military Industrial Machine in action, absolutely spamming Bismarks and Donaus.

I'll do something about my superiority complex when I cease to be superior.

"Whatever happened to catchin' a good old-fashioned passionate ass-whoopin and gettin' your shoes, coat, and your hat tooken?"
