An obvious solution is that it was moved out to Blackbird, even at teeny tiny fractions of a gravity continuous accelerations soon add up making moving space stations around in the same system entirely possible with Honorverse tech
Or at least the horribly outdated pre-alliance ship construction yards were broken down and replaced by the Blackbird yards.
And I could see the old forts getting scrapped, but possibly replaced by newer Apollo + LAC forts; those might still be in orbit...
But I'd assume the orbital farms hadn't been moved or decommissioned (they may be as the Skydomes covered farms take over; but I doubt that's happened yet).
But if all the ship repair and construction moved out to Blackbird it all smashed by Oyster Bay. That'd take out the majority of the trained shipyard workers. Yes there should be some vacuum trained repair workers working to keep the remaining orbital farms and forts humming along; but that's not much of a base to rebuild your yards from.
