No that is exactly it Beth. In the rules I had the player bringing sort
of queens in waiting who take over if the top bod is killed.

Here is the passage for that:
Secondary Control Aliens 
Colony armies may only have one Control alien. 
In order to prevent total disaster every time a Control 
alien is killed, alien armies may also have Secondary Control Aliens. 
These units are waiting for their turn to run the colony. 
They can have all of the systems normally restricted to Control aliens 
but because of the rivalry they cannot carry any weapons. 
Defensive systems are allowed. When the control alien is killed any of 
the Secondary Control Aliens can take over running the colony.

I must admit I hadn't thought of that. I was being narrow minded and
thinking of Aliens vs Humans type battles. Mind you that it would make
an interesting battle if a successful roll means an enemy unit is 
ignored as a friendly one.......hmmmmm
