What little we know of the setting lends itself to a lot of speculation and generates a lot of questions.

Here's one that occurred to me:

If Golarion is missing and Absalom Station has taken it's place but the rest of the solar system is present, where do the aiudara on Castrovel go to now?

What other questions do you folks have? Please post them here so we can wrestle with them together!

What if Aroden (whether an ascended AI who modeled himself on, or the real Aroden himself doesn't matter/up for debate) made his presence known when Rovagug broke free from imprisonment in Golarion? What if Aroden knew he needed the help of other gods to raise Absalom into a Spaceship?

Think about it: Pharasma saw that Rovagug would eventually break free:
Aroden's absence allowed Cayden Cailean, Iomedae, Norgorber to attain godhood. How many more were able to ascend in the time between Pathfinder and Starfinder?

The Old Gods were fighting Rovagog, Aroden, Cayden Cailean, Iomedae and the other Star-stone gods got as many mortals as they could to Absalom, and launched it as a self-sustaining vessel: Absalom station. The Station was taken as far away as possible from Golarion, to keep the mortals safe.

Whether the Old Gods are dead, or out of range of their followers is unknown... but the clerics of the old gods were depowered.

After that, we have 3 options:

1) Aroden goes full "Humanity FY Master Race", and the other races launched "The Exodus of Absalom" to colonize the new systems rather then deal with his favoritism BS.

2) It's been a while since that battle, and the descendants of Golarion have grown in strength and technology where they believe they can retake their homeworld... If they knew where it is. The gods in their haste to evacuate from Absalom made a series of blind jumps away and have no Idea where Golarion is. (Think Battlestar Galactica meets Star Trek: Voyager.)

3) The nearby systems have been, or are being colonized... Absalom Station now serves as a hub for trading and adventure. (Star-Trek: Deep Space 9 meets Stargate: Atlantis)

Also I might go with the old age thing...

I mean sure it's got human smarts.
But the poor thing also has the lifespan of a typical domestic feline. And he'd be 16 by now.
That's two years over the normal lifespan of a domestic tom-cat. So he's pushing it, I just might have her wake up, and find him curled up next to her, cold and dead.

I might just have my improved familiar be (until I am able to find a new one) the ghost of her old one.

Or you have that cat stolen, and over a course of a few adventures, have pieces sent to/left behind for the PC!

Before the Ooze-mage classes, my Character had a dog as a familiar.

With the Ooze-mage advancement, unlocking the new upgraded Familiar, I had the B%%## turned into an Elven Woman (divine reward from some deity, can't remember the specifics) who became a cohort and later my character's wife.

I had my mini Gelatinous cube 'Split'!

...

...

Sorry, that was terrible, but my mini Gelatinous Cube died in a Moment of Awesome so I could upgrade to a Dwarf Gelatinous Cube.

My PC (use the D20 Ooze-lord ogl rules adapted by GM) was ko'ed, Leaking/bleeding ooze everywhere, and the Ring of Disintegration was about to blow.

The Cube oozed/slithered over my (pc's) body, engulfed the ring, then oozed/slithered over the ledge and fell the lava as the ring blew up!

Definitely evil. Much of Pathfinders morality is assumed on what we as a modern western audience find good or evil.

If you are one of those people who thinks that playing modern western values in a a medieval/renaissance time-period is absurd, how does that work out for you with, say, womens rights? Do you have female players?

We play with renaissance values.

If fact, the women players actually were the one who wanted that.
Women have always had rights, the 'feminist' movement forced them to work. We have a Female Elven Ranger (Elven Princess) who was dis-owned by her family because she refused to marry the 12yo human prince.

In the game world, no leniency is shown for serious crimes,

The Nun/Cleric was dis-owned by her order because her Chasity was forcibly broken by an Orc (hence why she was at the Inn when the party-forming dragon attack happened.)

It isn't a major plot-line but the inn keepers keep on asking about 'Who's wife be yer?' and upgrading the beds to a Double; "Oh? U running away to elope or summat?"

Oozes, lots of oozes.

a sewer/runoff with a grate over it, so the slimes can come up from below.

I used that once on a female Paladin PC, ooze slimed into her Armour, so she had to remove her plate-mail in order to get the little bugger out.

It was harmless in itself, but distracting to feel it move under there!
