I was planning on using star wars  minis to play this set of solo rules but after rolling up a crew I thought I'd use the minis I've been  working on for my victoriana stargrave. The reinterpretation of some of the tech and aliens for a steampunk world works OK. I rolled up a crew and picked minis that fit.

For the quarantine stargrave supplement I looked at the Atlantic spider box set. I think there is something more victoriana than alien bugs. I've painted them up different colours to represent different bugs. I also wanted them to match my cephlapod Martians as if they had created them.For the quarantine stargrave supplement I looked at the Atlantic spider box set.
