for the record, I ALREADY checked the FAQ for this question.

Does your legal rating affect the size of a defense fleet?

I keep trying to kill all of them, but they never stop ending(No, i'm not using phase cannons i'm using emalga turrets with a fleet of 5 UE fighters, 4 CWs, and two Lazira's. I'm in a UE cruiser), I've been playing for about an hour with the legal status of "Most Wanted" in the Obron system.
Killed:
12 Voinian Cruisers
countless interceptors/heavy fighters
countless frigates.

Legal status doesn't affect the size of a defense fleet, but location does. If the planet/station you choose takes too long to dominate, try a different one (unless you've got your heart set on conquering Obron.) If you're in Voinian space, I suggest either Naogza or Outpost Topel. Or Durala if you want a bit more of a challenge.

Yes, Go for minor planets. One Voinina defense fleet, i don't remember where, had nothing but shuttles and cargo transporters defending it. If you are really looking forward to a challenge, Demand tribute from Council Station! That took me all day!

Outpost Topel - Defense fleet of captured UE shipping craft (a few shuttles, frighters, etc.) - Take three jumps or so down from Eghmalghon.

Meria - Defense fleet of one krait - Standless system near Igzadra space.
