Re: Visual Aids for Aliens
The novel Q-in-law had a nice alien race in it as I recall, kind of Space Gypsies, but there aren't really any visuals...
Would the base-line suliban from Enterprise work as your refugees? They already have that status and a similar backstory IIRC.
The D'ken from David Pulver's GURPS Space Atlas 4 might work. Basically drow-ish in appearance - refugees from beyond explored space.

Funny you should mention them - I'm considering them for a previously unknown threat race. They're sufficiently icky to be "alien" while still looking human, although I'll lose the vampiric stuff!
They're the only thing I liked in that movie, which is odd as I liked the first one. It's the first film where I've walked out of the cinema half way through for a long time!
