I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good set of victorian science fiction skirmish rules? I ant rules to focus on small groups of individual bases figues. I am reviving a an army that was inspired by 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Take a look at Bob Charette's Parroom Station "Valor, Steel and Flesh" and his accompanying figs.

In Her Majesty's Name but it is slightly more single company versus single company oriented IMNSHO.

Brink of Battle will handle it nicely.

I have used both In Her Majesty's name and Empire of the Dead.

Empire of the Dead has a fantastic campaign module – your group develops its character over the campaign, but you start kind of Vanilla (There is a Nemo's Crew pack and rules) There is also a free online unit builder program

In Her Majesty's Name give you tons of flexibility in building a group

Another recommendation for In Her Majesty's Name.

It depends on number of figures.

If you want less than a dozen to a side, I'd go with In Her Majesty's Name.

If you are looking for slightly bigger fights, I'd go with GASLIGHT.

I really like them both, just for different things.

For bigger games, Battles by GASLIGHT or When the Navy Walked are nice.

For really big games, there's Dystopian Wars.

I have VSF projects in four different scales; I'm kind of a junkie. Use a lot of brass paint.

I would second J Womack's comments.
