* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The feychildren have a wide variety of hair colors.

The barathu are natives to the gas giant Bretheda. Resembling floating, tentacle brains, barathus are capable of modifying their own genetic code and combining together into larger, more powerful collective entities. Early stage barathus are about the size of a human and enjoy wandering, exploring other cultures and societies.

* StarfishAliens: They look like tentacles brains.

* TheGreys: Natch.

* SecondClassCitizen: In the elven homeland.

* HumansAreTheDefault: largely averted. While humans may be the default in some places, such as Absalom Station, other races are the default in most places.

* SecondClassCitizens: In the elven homeland.

* Determinator: They can keep going for one round after being brought below zero hitpoints.

* TheFaceless: There has never been an image of a kasatha that's shown its lower face. No explanation has ever been given for this, but every one has hidden their face with a scarf, mask, or other item of clothing. For the curious, an image of a Kasatha skeleton in ''Pathfinder'' shows a fairly Human-like jaw.

* LizardFolk: They're human-sized, bipedal reptiles with rust-red scales.

* BrutalHonesty: Their primary trait

* TheFaceless: There has never been an image of a kasatha that's shown its lower face. No explanation has ever been given for this, but every one has hidden their face with a scarf, mask, or other item of clothing.

Elegant humanoids with a long lifespan, the Gap hit them harder than most. With vast swaths of their population missing the majority of their memories, many elves became convinced that they had been betrayed during the Gap. Unable to determine who the guilty party could be, if there even was one, the elves withdrew to Sovyrian on Castrovel and rapidly developed into a reclusive and xenophobic society. Elves deeply value magic as the continuation of their ancestor's work and many of the elves seen outside their own kind are seeking fragments of lore or magical items.

Burly reptilians from a warrior civilization originating in a nearby star system.

* EnemyMine: While the Veskarium and the Pact Worlds first interacted through open war, and later coexisted in an tense cold war for several centuries. By the game's present, they've been forced into an uneasy alliance in order to face the rising threat of [[HordeOfAlienLocusts the Swarm]], which neither would be able to face alone.

* MultiarmedAndDangerous: They have four arms, are larger than most races, and place great value on combat ability.

* MultiarmedAndDangerous: They have four arms and are capable of firing magical force projectiles.

The iskeshti are a reptilian race native to Akiton with an unusual life cycle. Born as little more than ravenous mouths they develop into an adolescent stage that lasts between one and two decades before entering their adult stage. They become composed to mate and after doing so engage in battle to the death, with the surviving mate settling into the final stage of their life to tend for the young. Those who are unable to secure a mate regress into savage beasts that care for nothing but battle and food.

* SpaceElves: They're divided into two subspecies: the Damaya are tall, willowy and graceful humanoids with telepathic powers and small antennae. The Korasha, by contrast, are more akin to Space Dwarves, being short, stout and muscular, although they still have the telepathy and antennae.

* InsectoidAliens: They resemble large, bipedal locusts. They have six limbs -- two legs, two large arms and two smaller arms -- but they keep their smaller pair hidden away most of the time: in their culture, the smaller arms (usually called the "mating arms") are only supposed to be used during reproduction, and are not to be used or revealed for any other reason.

* OurNudityIsDifferent: Their main physical relates to their smaller second pair of arms. They're only supposed to be used in mating, and using these arms for any other purpose -- or even showing them in public -- is considered obscene and taboo.

Four armed natives of a desert world, the kasathas fled their home as their star neared collapse and arrived in the Pact Worlds in the generation ship ''Idari''.

Burly reptilians from a warrior civilization originating in a nearby starsystem.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: They have four arms, though with **Starfinder**'s changes to how many attacks you can make this just gives them more flexibility, such as being able to use a rifle while still having hands free for backup weapons or the like.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: They have four arms, though they can still only have one that counts as the primary hand.

[[folder:Formian]]
->'''Type:''' Monstrous humanoid

Found primarily on Castrovel within the Pact Worlds, the formians are a communal insectoid race divided into castes for different roles.

[[folder:Goblins]]
A small and chaotic race, goblins are known for cobbling technology together out of scrap, voraciously consuming anything they can get their hands on, and generally being a pain to deal with.

[[folder:Haan]]
An arthropodan species native to Bretheda. They weave balloons from webs which they use to float through the air and can spit fire to defend themselves. Their society forbids all but the most basic of tools and those who leave home to venture the stars are considered dead by their kin.
----
* AcePilot: Those who do leave Bretheda find themselves adept pilots.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: They're insects bigger than most humanoids.
* IHaveNoSon: The Haan who venture off world are considered dead to their families.
* MixAndMatchCritters: They combine aspects of bombardier beetles, spiders, and eurypterids (sea scorpions).
* {{Technophobia}}: Almost all Haan consider technology taboo.

[[folder:Sarcesian]]
A tall species native to one of the planets that now makes up the Diaspora. They are capable of surviving in space for up to an hour, suppressing their breathing and growing solar wings to glide through the void.
----
* ColdSniper: They make excellent snipers, especially since they can take up position outside of a space station or starship to fire on targets inside.
* GrowingWings: They can manifest wings of pure energy, but only in a vacuum.
* NoodlePeople: They're incredibly tall, with long spindly limbs.

[[folder:Skittermanders]]
A race of peaceful, communal creatures from Vesk-3, Skittermanders are good-natured if hyperactive mammals with six arms and furry bodies. They are instinctually helpful, which vexed the Veskarium when they attempted to invade, as the Vesk code of honor forbid them from firing on a foe that wasn't interested in a fight.
----
* KillerRabbit: Skittermander Whelps are as cute as the adults, save for a secondary mouth they use to take bites out of large prey. It's normally all-but harmless given their diminutive size, but a swarm of whelps can skeletonize a large animal.
* NiceGuy: To an almost infuriating degree. Those that leave Vesk-3 tend to become bureaucrats for the sole purpose of helping as many people as they can.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Some Vesk suspect that they're intentionally obtuse in order to annoy their Vesk "overlords" and maintain their autonomy while reaping the rewards of being part of the Veskarium.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: They're adorable little fur balls. They're both less and more cute as whelps, as though their faces are even cuter, they have a creepy worm-like mouth on their stomachs.

[[folder:Urogs]]
The primary race of the crystalline world of Dykon, Urogs are large, plodding snail-like creatures made of shimmering crystal. Though they are brilliant mathematicians, they have no real sense of tact, so they tend to rub other races the wrong way with their constant criticism and bluntness.
----
* BrutalHonesty: Their primary trait

Chitinous natives of Akchios.
