The Riese, which means giant is the second barge acquired by Daumann Heavy Construction. It was bougt after the first barge, the Wohlstand was sold to a private research group for 1 billion credits during the company's stock crash towards the end of 819 A.S.

On the second quarter of 819 A.S, Daumann finally saw the light, after four painful months of recovery from the stock crash, and purchased the barge for 3 billion credits from an unknown party, a bargain price compared to the 6 billions some other parties paid for the now rare barge, which due to alleged illegal use of the vessel, its production was ceased by the A.D.M.I.N.
