I just stumbled on the section on the Veskarium in the CRB and noticed that the planets of the Veskarium and their native species are already outlined;
The result is the Veskarium, a vast empire with a wide array of subjects. This includes the stonefaced squidfolk of Vesk-2, the antlike beings of Vesk-5, the feline humanoid barbarians of Vesk-6, and the pacifist frost behemoths of Vesk-7 and Vesk-8.
We all know Skittermanders are from Vesk-3, and the "feline humanoid barbarians of Vesk-6" are the Pahtra (Alien Archive 2 p94), but the rest are still a mystery.
I'm sure there'll be more of the Veskarium races outlined in future Alien Archives and there'll almost certainly be a book akin to Pact Worlds focused on the Veskarium at some point.
In the meantime though, I don't recall a SFS scenario set in the Veskarium which is a real shame given that both Vesk and Skittermanders have become common PC races.

This is something I'm well aware of and am striving to fix.
It's also something of a reverse canon trap. We don't necessarily want to portray a Veskarium-based scenario without having some source material in our print products, because then whatever comes up in a scenario is hard-coded for when we eventually do a theoretical product that would touch on the Veskarium.
That being said, I think there should be some upcoming content that covers this in the coming months! :)

Honorbound Emissaries had some great Vesk content (and my Heart Friend Forever boon was finally put to good use).
My region's GM convention boon includes Pahtra, so I expect we'll be seeing parties more and more containing Veskarium races.
I think we should go to Vesk-2 and find a secluded underwater Starfinder lodge where some squidfolk outcasts who worship a peculiar incarnation of a well-known god have claimed the location as their own. The Starfinders would make first contact, oblivious to the dark secret that awaits them...
Wait. Nevermind. Forget I said anything.

Yep! I ran the first one a couple of times and played it at Con of the North, definitely worth having that boon!
Also, my Pahtra Operative is already getting play! I went for the Spanish accent for Vesk 6...otherwise the name Purrnelope just doesn't have the same ring to it!
@Thursty, I totally understand the reverse canon trap, definitely something to avoid, however I look forward to whatever you can bring, having the Captain reappear in was really great for the players that had played the scenario too!
