I might get a lot of flak over this, but I think that Reapers have always been more plausible than the Necromorphs. The current Brethren Moon plot twist is nowhere near as dangerous as it sounds when you think about it and realise that actual moons are struck by hundreds of meteorites of various size every year. Brethren Moons would be shredded by that in the space of a few hundred years after their creation, as they have no atmosphere to protect them and the dead flesh/pseudo-chitin they're made up of is still hundreds of times softer than rock and metal, whichever way you look at it. In short, there simply shouldn't be more than five of those moons in Dead Space at that point in time, and even those would be gravely damaged.
