Liberty is the trading hub of Sirius right now. Bretonia trades with them, Kusari trades with them, even Rheinland traded with them up until now. They have easy access to extremely valuable minerals, they have hyper-inhabitable planets (New Berlin, eat your heart out. How's that freezing bitter cold?), and they're, overall, the central point between all of the houses.

Rheinland doesn't have modern ships because they're literally up to their eyeballs in debt. They lost the majority of their fleet to the GMG, they're at war with Liberty, and essentially Bretonia too, they ousted Interspace Commerce, the SUPER GIANT of ALL economy in Sirius, and they won't allow other outside trading groups to help their economy flow. They're throwing away ships in a war against Liberty, who HAS the funding, who HAS the economy, who HAS the financial backing. Who does Rheinland have? Kusari? I bet it's fun having your only trading partner bottle-necked by pirates. Why bother sitting at the other lanes when Liberty nor Bretonia trade with you? Lets sit anywhere leading to Kusari!
Rheinland is in the shit because of their own stupidity. How can you have new, high tech ships if you literally have no money to pay your workers? No money to buy the expensive, high-tech materials from other houses? No one willing to trade you said materials?
