The Fondor Yards were capable of constructing 30 Defender-class Star Destroyers in less than a year, in addition to several thousand other vessels for the Republican Space Navy. The construction worker in AoC also mentioned that the yards had not fallen behind schedule in the construction of the Star Destroyers, despite them having to quickly refit (as in a period of less than 2 months) several hundred NR warships. Fondor is most likely more efficient than Mon Calamari, as they are said to be the third largest shipyards in the Galaxy.

The Calamari Yards, are likely to be superior to the Bilbringi Space Yards, which at the time of SbS (which was in a period after the NR had decentrilized its warship construction) they were able to rush 2 Imperial-class Star Destroyers and approximately 500 smaller warships into service.

Well for me, anyway, the image I got of MC's orbiatal defenses and shipyards was of the shot of the Jem'Hadar/Breen's would-be-last stand at Cardassia Prime in What you Leave Behind.

You mention that Fonder was probaly the 3rd best Shipyard in the Galaxy, and it was superior than MC yards(which are superior to Bilbringni) so I asume Kuat is the largest shipyard. But which comes second?

Rendili StarDrive, I think.

Or possibly the shipyards in the Corellian system.

I believe the EGtPM stated that Fondor's shipyards were second only to the shipyards at Kuat and Corellia, thus making it the second largest military shipyard in the galaxy, as CEC produces for the most part civilian and commercial craft. In Jedi Eclipse, it is also stated that the Fondor Yards (building 30 DSDs and several thousand other warships at the time) were operating at a much lower production rate than during the height of the Empire, meaning that when the Emperor was still in power, they produced several times as many ships.
