Hi.
Based on a suggestion by Mike West in another topic, in which he spoke about wanting to see Iron Crown's Night Brood miniatures given use for the Star Fleet Universe...
...I thought that since those ship designs have a much more organic feel than most, maybe they could be the bases of a representation of the Yrol Septs, out in the Lesser Magellanic Cloud?
The Yrol are described in Module C5 as somehow merging 'semi-mobile' (which might mean impulse-powered, but that's just a guess) hulls to 'semi-sentient' creatures that are, apparently, indigenous to their home nebula (which lies just 'westwards' of the Uthiki Harmony, and bordered by the Baduvai Imperium) - but can exist out of it for a few weeks at a stretch (essentially, long enough to raid Uthiki or Baduvai space and get back again).
Perhaps the smaller Night Brood minis could be the 'semi-mobile ships', while the larger minis the 'semi-sentient creatures' in question - which may, perhaps, be assumed to already have the ships somehow embedded within them?
(That way, one could use the same mini to represent both a 'wild' creature and a 'merged/domesticated' type - and not have to somehow modify the figure to weld one of the smaller figure onto, or into, the larger one.)
Of course, actual work on a new Magellanic module is some way off yet - but perhaps this could be an idea worth considering if/when the time comes...
