They have names as shown in SC3. Those numbers are their numbers in the line of succession for the (I think) topmost military officer in their fleet (probably only the current fleet, since having #3 of the whole race on an important yet extremely small expedition is weird). Of course, the game only has up to 1000 'Masters', which is silly with the size of their sphere of influence.

As I mentioned, humans say they're 10 yards long, but that's what they say. At this rate they would do better sending space marines, Orz-style, than piloting those silly fighters who die in one hit (unlike marines).
