Since we're being blunt, a lot of the principle of rotating strategic assets into the GJ chain of command was inspired by the RR situation... possibly other factions too, but they're the only one with writers. And fundamentally in terms of production stuff... I mean look at what we (VVS) are doing with respects to the OVs and Gagarin Crater and the rest. So sure, they (RR) could probably set things up that they're building strategic stuff, and if thats what they want to dedicate themselves to, on OOC terms fine. On IC terms though... let's encourage them to slow down production from wartime frenzied heights, and at the same time, there's important uses for the stuff as has been discussed. They want to build the stuff and help keep the system safe? Why not legitimize that?
The exact socioeconomics I'm going to leave up for debate, but if they could afford to build and run the stuff solo (can they? that actually seems a good question) than I don't see why the same sort of broad stuff wouldn't apply to them too. They stay an independent political faction, with the majority of their strategic force rotating into GJ and working alongside everyone else.
Maybe there should be some system of leasing stuff (or reuptation trading, or bargaining chips or wtf-ever) to GJ as it's rotated in to compensate factions for the use of their Stuff - not anywhere near purchase price, but enough to take a lot of the sting out of it.
