I always like to believe that the SJ was permanently fused to the chair and that it was some form of biomech pilot created by another, yet unseen, intelligent life form! Therefore, the SJ was a creation like the Xenos by some other mysterious race.
That would be awesome.
I had something similar in mind. But I guess that the SJs surgically attached themselves to different stuff, in Alien's case, the ship. So there could be those normal Jockeys that could, well walk around, while some others could be half-machines, that are restricted to the vicinity of the thing they are connected to.
Or they could attach and detach themselves from machines, whenever they wanted to.
I'm not sure SJs were organisms created by other organisms. Xenomorphs could be, but SJs, being the advanced race they are, seem to have altered their bodies to their needs.
