Well, what would be your ideas for them - I know I'd like to hear 

Offtopic, but why'd you change your picture to have no link to the Sigma game anymore?

If these creatures showed up as an NPC race I suppose I sort of pictured them using subspace portals to drain crew off of ships that come near. Basically instead of them using ships, give the model file a an animated sprite of their eerie portals and equip them with a weapon that drains crew of nearby ships slowly. The weapon visual would probably be best if it was left invisible. It might also be insteresting to make it so that only certain types of weapons can damage or destroy the portals, I suppose this could easily be done by making it so most weapons have a 100% miss chance against their 'ships.' While it's a rather small addition and no where near as competant as a fully fledged NPC race that constructs bases, I tend to admire the simple things that show in games like that simple because it adds depth and a nice atmosphere.

Hehe and my signature picture still links to the game.
