JP/ONOS queens.
Lorks and hmm, rine's don't have enugh units.
unless we count, noob rine = pawn, ownage rine = queen
vet = rook, PT = knight <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

<span style='color:red'>*disclaimer* so i dont start a flame war..... the above is a joke. It does not reflect my actual views.</span>
Pawns - light armor marine
Rooks - Phase Gates - like castles, they claim territory
Knight - JP
Bishop - Arms Lab - Religion, upgrades, eh it sounded good in my head
Queen - HA - Most powerful piece on the board
King - CC - Without it, it's game over.
Aliens
Pawns - Skulks - truly are the pawns
Rooks - Gorge - Establish new territory
Knight - Lerk - Most diverse in attack methods
Bishop - Fade - Blinks in straight line across board
Queen - Onos - most powerful piece on the board
King - Hive - without it, it's game over.
Rooks - HA GL Marines
Knights - JP Shotgun Marines
Bishops - HA HMG Marines
Queen - JP HMG Marine
King - Commander
Pawns - Skulks
Rooks - Onos
Knights - Lerks
Bishops - Gorges
Queen - Fade
King - Hive
Chess is a time honored classic, nothing beats a good game of chess (unless the other guy is being a total ****). Shame on you...
It's the classic style of medieval warfare (even though it was invented in Asia...):
Marshal your forces.
Make sacrifices.
Look for the opening, and go in for the kill.
Turrets would be the rooks.
Knifers would be the pawns.
Jetpackers would be knights with a shotgun.
HA would be the queen with an HMG.
Comm chair would be king.
Bishops would be light armor+LMG
For the aliens...
OCs would be rooks.
Skulks would be pawns (obvious).
Fades would be knights (knights have the advantage of being the only piece that can cover a max of 1/8th the board, regardless of what's blocking it. The analogy fits.)
Onos would be queen.
Gorges would be the king (he IS the builder, after all).
Lerks would be bishops.
Edit:
I would pay serious money if somebody made a wooden chessboard with NS characters.
1- make marine pawns be able to shoot aliens from 3 or so squares away
2- skulks would get 3 moves to every one marine move
3- the aliens would get 3 kings(hives) instead of one like the marines
4- the marine king can upgrade his pieces which all start out as pawns but since in the game of chess there would be no Rts so all res would have to be generated by R4K
and a bunch of other crap ..... it'd probly be so complicated that people would give up and just start throwing the pieces at each other.... so I'll just stick with NS on PC

That was by far the most humorous thing I've seen all day.
And trust me, it had to contend with a pretty hilarious quote as well.
Anyway, I'd see it this way. ^^
Marines:
King - CC
Queen - ?
Bishop - JP
Knight - HA
Rook - ?
Pawn - LA (or turrets?)
Aliens:
King - Hive
Queen - Onos
Bishop - Lerk
Knight - Fade
Rook - ?
Pawn - Skulk (or OC)
btw: sej has the best set altho I would switch his bishop/queen setup.
Pawns - light armor marine
Rooks - Phase Gates - like castles, they claim territory

Bishop - Arms Lab - Religion, upgrades, eh it sounded good in my head
