From what we know, and what we can speculate from partial knowledge the iconic are thus; human envoy, android operative, vesk soldier, kasatha solarion, ysoki mechanic. That leaves the last two races, and last two classes. Now my best guess is the insectoid race (shirren perhaps?) is a technomancer, and an as yet to be seen lashunta is the mystic. Though I could be wrong.
From the images shown of all the iconics from a presentation it appears that they are: A female human envoy, a female (I'm color blind so I could be mistaken) vesk soldier, an android operative, a female lashunta technomancer, a kasatha solarian (unsure of the sex or gender), a ysoki mechanic (unsure of the sex or gender), and a shirren mystic (unsure of the sex or gender).

I hadn't seen the lashunta. Though it does fit better.

The technomancer actually looks fairly interesting, seems to have some sort of wrist holo-computer device. I'm hoping that will be like a spellbook.

Unlikely since all classes are spontaneous now. Anyone have a link to the Lashunta picture?
She does look good.
Thanks, and yup that is most likely a technomancer. I'm still fairly sure the Kashata and Yskoi are males with the Shirren being either a male or a non binary gender.Unlikely since all classes are spontaneous now. Anyone have a link to the Lashunta picture?Here
There's actually a chance the shirren have more than two commonly appearing sexes. At least I hope that's what was meant.

Behold, the Bug People.
Huh. Bug peep has four limbs, rather than the traditional six-plus of bug-peeps like the Aspis, Thri-Kreen, Phraints, Xixchil, Formians, etc. That's a neat difference.
Also has a holy symbol of Pharasma floating over it's head, which is funky.

I disagree. Look at this photo and the one you already saw. They seem to have a tiny, vestigial limb or limbs located around their midriff.

Can't imagine they'd have an in-game use though. (save maybe for a grapple bonus.)

I concur. I was only addressing the art.

Those extra lower arms would be useful even if only for the purpose of holding items that could be moved over to their actual arms as a free action. Between them and the kasatha, I suspect that Starfinder will have very robust and comprehensive rules for creatures with more than two arms.
Since there were slides of ships for Vesk, Shirren, and the Pact Alliance, I strongly suspect that the Shirren are inhabitants of a solar system other than those of Golarion or the Veskarium.

The Shirren could well be part of the infamous Swarm, this strange enemie of the Pact Worlds Alliance was said to be insect-like.
One of the big ones is called the Swarm, which is a big race of interstellar insect-like things that just overrun everything and are not really fun to be around.
The vesk spaceships weren't called "Veskarium Spaceships", so I suppose the Shirren spaceships could well be the "Swarm Spaceships".
I'm just making assumptions and speculations that should not be taken as official.

That thought occurred to me. In that case, Shirren PCs would be former members of the Swarm who somehow broke free from the hive mind.
The Lashunta looks way too short and I was hoping she would be the mystic or solarian iconic.
