The Reapers' small combat force required more versatile ship designs than those provided in the Border Worlds series. To compensate, the Reapers' new ships removed some of the automation technology and used the space to improve their fighter's maneuverability. Enhanced aerodynamics allow the Reapers to use their very heavy fighter for planetary actions, enabling them to defend Planet Braillia both in space and in the atmosphere using the same squadrons. This capability also makes their attack squadrons a credible threat to the planetary installations of their enemies. While, in most cases, only space based fighters are scrambled to meet the threat of incoming fighter raids, detection of a flight of Reapers requires both space and atmospheric defense forces to be deployed, vastly increasing the resource drain that the Reapers can cause among their foes merely by making an appearance in hostile regions.

These claims were dismissed by the court after evidence had shown that Turner had assaulted the officers responsible for his arrest on several occasions during his incarceration. In late 811 A.S the jury drew a unanimous verdict and Turner was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for drugs trafficking and several charges of assault against an officer(A charge that Turner denied up until his disappearance)
