Caveat: the following is NOT CANON in any way, just some thoughts I'd 
been having that may or may not end up being used (I may still decide 
to go off in another direction entirely...):

I'd mentioned some time earlier about the idea that the Ixx are 
possibly a nomadic race, travelling around in HUUUUUGE generation 
ships (OK, "Hiveships" for want of a better term) - these might have 
FTL, or might just be travelling sublight and have just begun to 
enter the fringes of the Human/Kra'Vak/Phalon spheres. The hiveships 
would be very, very big, planetoid sized, with many millions of Ixx 
and fleets of combat ships aboard each one. Now, maybe each hiveship 
is a separate nest/nation/tribe/whatever, which will co-operate at 
times for the good of the whole Ixx race, but at other times will 
squabble and fight among themselves over resources, rivalries, power 
and such.... ?
