Here is an image I have been working on lately...a Sundiver ship in the
middle, and a couple of the "cattle" type Solarians around it. (They all
point in the same direction because the orient themselves to the ambient
magnetic field.)
Of course, this is a picture taken from another Sundiver ship, with the
filters turned on so you can actually see something...that accounts for
the dim background and the fact that the viewer isn't being fried. :-)
And it still needs a lot of work...I want some more interesting
structures in the background(which is currently an improvised
sky_sphere), the ship needs more detailing, the cattle-Solarians don't
quite look right, and I want to do one or two of the "shepherd"
Solarians.
And maybe one of the so-called "ghosts". :-)
Some artistic license taken on the ship...the hull is supposed to be
almost 100% reflective, but I wanted to be able to see inside it.

The cooling laser should be more focused. The Sundiver is nice. Where's the
nasty Pila? :-)
I haven't read it for a long time so I can't tell if the cattle are correct
or not, if this is decideable at all.

I am trying to get a tightly focused beam with a dimmer spread from
scattering.(this is the photosphere of the Sun, so scattering would
spread the beam some) This isn't quite what I wanted(it looks too much
like a long flame to me), but it is getting there.
But really, there isn't much reason for the beam to come out of the ship
tightly focused...they might actually want it to spread out, so their
own "tail" isn't as dangerous.

He got shipped off to his friends...who aren't very friendly any more.

The cover has a picture from the inside of the ship, including the
cattle type Solarians, and they do strongly resemble the ones in this
image. They were basically described as green toruses made of plasma and
possibly some solid matter, with a coherent light tail and changing
geometric patterns on their surface, so I don't think this is too far
off. However, they are currently all identical...I am going to put a lot
more in the scene, and give them more variation in patterns and size.
Maybe have the shepherds tending a group of young ones.

Wups, I meant "this is just above the photosphere". To be precise, the
middle regions of the chromosphere, between the corona and the
photosphere.
