I generally run most of our campaigns but leave the choice of game system and adventure to my players. That said, I'd really like to give starfinder a shot (our history with science fictiony games is pretty poor).
Consequently, I'm looking for a one-paragraph summation of Starfinder - themes, genre, whatever...that I'm hoping will inspire them to choose this for an upcoming campaign. Is there an "evevator pitch" summary somewhere? A broad-strokes description of what the game is going be like?

Starships and androids
and ratfolk with lasers,
zero g gunfights
(but not trademarked phasers),
deep space horror beasties
on gossamer wings,
these are a few of the Starfinder things...
When the engines fail,
when the radar pings,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember these Starfinder things
and then I don't feel so bad!
Alien foreheads
all furrowed and ragey,
xenodrug smugglers
so shifty and cagey,
theremin orchestras
lacking all strings,
these are a few of the Starfinder things...
When the vacuum sucks,
when the mi-go stings,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember these Starfinder things
and then I don't feel so bad!

There's a good chance that will do it. Thanks. :)
