The pilots in Eve Online have Capsuleers.
The pilots in Eve: Valkyrie are just that, Valkyrie.
We are..... cloners? Mercenaries or mercs? Blah....

Names that I have found so far:

Elysians (Gallente name)

Templars (Amarr name)

Draugr (Minmatar name)

Rasetsu (Caldari name)

Mannequin

Impyrean (Empyreans are Capsuleers)

Immortal Clone Soldiers, or Icys?

Dust bunnies

Dusters

Clone or Cloner

Mercenary or Merc

Consoleers or Consuleers (due to the control consoles we hack (as well as the fact we play on the PS3 "console"))

Thanaions (This is derived from two Greek words. The first part, Than, is that of Thanatos, or death. But since the Gallente carrier in Eve Online is called the Thanatos, we couldn't very well be called that as well. The second part, Aion, is that of Aionios, or eternal. Death Eternal since we are Eternal beings that either give death or receive it.)

Skin Flakes

Ground Pounders

I expect a few troll posts to this and look forward to them

Give your feedback on your favorites and post your own ideas!

Wouldn't be entirely bad to have more than one term, as that provides a breadth of culture and application. Having something longer/more formal and something more bite sized/lower syllable count.
Personally I'd lean toward Thanaions for the formal and Bennu (or some conjugation there of) for the more common use case. This also provides some interesting context and interplay between the implications/interactions of each term.

Mercenary is what actually depicts the best what these immortal soldiers are in New Eden/the game premises. Thanks for the post. Some feedback I've dug up about the term Mercenary from some people is it is too broad. For instance, there are Mercenary corporations in Eve Online that War Dec other corporations because they were hired to do so. So that make us foot soldiers Mercenaries as well as those Eve Online pilots Mercenaries. We are fairly different creatures, yet have the same title or name. But reverse that, we are CERTAINLY not capsuleers due to the lack of a capsule. Also, another gripe I saw was from an Amarr loyalist and lore junkie. Quote: I grow wary of constantly needing to point out that this "mercenary" label that the New Eden propaganda team had been shoving out is utter garbage and quite frankly an outrage. Quasi-immortality does not break the soul from the divine obligation. That is what he had to say. Basically just because we reach immortality doesn't mean we automatically become guns for hire for just anyone. Don't get me wrong, I value your input. I'm just showing you the other side of the argument. Yassavi Approved. -Aero Yassavi

I agree that the term describes what we do VERY well. But I don't agree it describes what we are. Like I've said before, there are Mercenary Capsuleers as well. It seems weird we would be Mercenary Mercenaries. Our immortal species has been named after an already existing profession. It does not make us unique even though we are very unique. Anyone can be a Mercenary, mortal or immortal. Capsuleer or foot soldier. DUSTIES is as close as we have to a unique name for just ourselves. Guess I will have to live with that.
