Default Mini Race Needed!

I need a mini-shipset for the Csgith Plague. Who are the Csgith you ask? Well allow me to enlighten you to one of my more interesting creations.

Biology:The Csgith are a unique parasitic race. In their natural state they are about a foot in height. All Csgith posess 3 tentacles, 2 leaping arms, two large almond like eyes, and a mouth with razor sharp teeth. They bore a hole in another organism and take control of it. They then lay eggs which grow over time, eventually swelling the host organism into a large bulbous eggsack, which then bursts killing the original parasite, but giving birth to any number of Csgith, depending on the size of the host.
Society:Csgith society is geared towards one goal: the infestation of the universe and the spreading of the Csgith. Csgith laborers, others who have been infested, labor endlessly constructing countless boarding craft for the Csgith Plague. The entirety of the Csgith are ruled over by an enigmatic being known only as the Plague Lord.

Ever play Halo? Think kinda like the Flood.

"Now", you ask, "What is a Mini Shipset?"

Well basically I say Mini Shipset because the only images I NEED are:
Race Pic:The basic Parasite form of the Csgith.
Pop Pics:Infested Humanoids
Troop Infantry:Infested Humanoids

However if you want to go ahead and make a shipset go ahead all it would need would to be shpis(hell use the generic one) that are broken down, and filthy looking.

For some inspirational images, turn to:

Ill have a crude, crude, crude 2d crummy drawing of the Parasite up here sometime tomorrow.

Maybe I could do it... Is there a deadline ?
I don't want to make you wait if you are in a hurry ( Working hard (and late), marriage to prepare, three PBW games running, etc, etc...)

Here is a preview pic I made for your race :



Does it match your idea ?
Troops and pops look like mutant zombies, aren't they ?

Is it for a mod ? does your race use specific ships (mainly transport ships ?).

Its intended for the Csgith to be in LR mod. They use the racial trait Parasitic Race. Very nice image, but for the Csgith I was thinking of something distinctly less humanoid. Their entire bodymass is their "head" all limbs extend forth from it. Again, see that Flood.

Sorry I cant draw...it kind of looks like a horribly mutated Pac-Man.
The pointy things in the front of the tentacles are the Leaper Legs, and the squigles are Tentacles. Sorry they are so out of proportion, as I said, I cant draw. The teeth should be sharper and the whole bodies color should be one of filth and disease. Also this was done Last night at like 5 AM.

Remember here people, this is a race that is a cancer. A sentient, malicious cancer, that nearly all sentient beings would rather commit suicide, then be afflicted with.

So for the infected, do your bizzare best! lol.

Population, and Infantry images should be infected Humanoids, and Race image should be the actual Csgith parasite. And if you do do ships, just think derilects. The Csgith take extremely poor care of their ships, after all, their ships serve only the purpose of ferrieng Parasites from one spot, to another. Ship to Ship combats only purpose for the Csgith is to lower an enemies shield, and then unleash parasites.

Kodos, your image tag wasn't working properly. I took the liberty to fix it for you.
