Maths: First Gen ship was launched in 2097. We can estimate the last one would have been launched around 2800, as after this they would have become obsolete with the introduction of the commercial hyperspace drive. 70k over a minimum of 703 years = 99.57 per year = 3.66 per day on average. Rounded up due to 703 being the estimated minimum.
