I have never understood who actually owns the rights to these plastic 
minis that
were in the Silent Death boxed set.  They are now sold under the name 
"XXX Century Starships" from Nexus, formerly Atlantic and the Italeri 
logo is in the
bottom corner.

You can also get them from EM4 Miniatures: www.em4miniatures.com

Larger versions of the same ships are available from a toy distributor (don't
have the link handy)

All the while the plastics are still available from ICE for Silent Death and
RAFM still makes the metal versions of the minis, also available from ICE
