The Reave-Class Picket Cruiser was designed to fill the support or numbers role that the Spirian Reform required. Adopting a more modernized look for the traditional dagger-shape of Imperial vessels, the command bridge takes inspiration from the Nebula-Class Star Destroyer or the Endurance-Class Carrier. Aside from that, it was made to be easily mass produced for the Blackguard Imperium to give them a reliable ship capable of holding its own in small skirmishes. The last minute addition of a redundant shield generator increased the odds to ensure that the ship would survive small engagements with other ships of its class.

A modular hangar bay allowed for two primary configurations. One configuration allowed up to 72 starfighters to be held on board, where as the second configuration reduced that number to 24, allowing for greater cargo capacity. The total cargo capacity in the second configuration was up to 8,000 tons. In the primary configuration, it was reduced to a mere 1,500 tons.

Armament consisted of 25 light turbolasers, 20 light quad turbolasers, 10 point-defense laser cannons, 20 light point-defense ion cannons and 4 tractor beam projectors, thus making it a formidable foe for other cruisers of its size. Trooper complement consisted of 400 soldiers for defense, boarding actions or even small scale ground skirmishes.
