This is all the information I've found concerning starfinder. Obviously, some of this is subject to change and some of it is somewhat speculative so I won't make promises.
Included Races:
-7 "Core" Races (Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Halflings, Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, Humans)
-Ratfolk
-Androids
-Lashunta
-Plus other "alien" races
-They want to make more monster like playable races
-SPECULATION: Possibly kasatha (as seen in pictures)
Included Classes:
-Soldier
-Operative
-Envoy
-Mechanic
-Mystic
-Technomancer
-Solerian
The God:
-An ascended ai god, which apparently has some link to past Golarion linked to an already known god, has become a god and gifted hyperspace travel to the galaxy
-Some other gods may disappear/be inexplicably missing
-The faithful of Abadar God of Commerce created a company called "Adadar Corp."
-20 Different gods to be described in the main book
-Possible cathedral ships of the Church of Iomedae
Hyperspace Travel:
-Can only be accessed with technology, not magic
-Has differing environmental effects depending on distance traveled
-A small jump has little effect of the outside world
-A large jump can cause pieces of the multiverse to be sucked into the hyperspace dimension, causing the dimension to grow and sometimes spitting beings and pieces of other planes out
Golarion Is Gone:
-Golarion has vanished
-The gods refuse to (SPECULATION: can't?) answer where it has gone
-The moon has gone with it
-"Absolam Station" a space station (SPECULATION: Likely the one shown on the starfinder homepage) has taken the place of Golarion. (Unknown whether that means physical location or location as a home base)
-Golarion has NOT been destroyed
The Gap:
-A multiverse wide memory gap stretching thousands of years back on anything concerning golarion and it's history
-The gap is different for different places. On one planet the gap may ge 1000 years, on another it may be 1005 years.
Starship Combat:
-Every player has an important part in combat
-Has been described as star trek/firefly-like
-Upgradable ships to act like a separate character sheet shared by the party
Technology:
-Will include spaceships, power armor, laser and plasma weapons
Androids
-Corporations got ahold of technology to produce androids
-SPECULATION: Possibly a future version of the technic league?
Hellknights:
The hellknights might have battleship fleets
Other:
Considering a method to work around the language barrier
Again this is all information found in paizo interviews and statements with some speculation where noted. ALL OF THIS CAN BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Just thought I would post everything I've found. If I find any new information I will try to update.
So what do you think?

Clarification: the Pathfinder core races will be available for use in Starfinder, but will not be the "Core" Races for Starfinder. Core races for Starfinder are so far android, human, and ratfolk confirmed, with lashunta and kasatha implied.
I actually found a post confirming lashunta will be included.
We’re also going to have races like the lashunta. They’re the main race for Castrovel, They’re humanoid, psychic… got a bit of a Vulcan thing going for them in terms of their mindset.
I admit I messed up with the core races. Sorry about that.

Wow! Congrats! This is the first I've read about the ship combat. Seems like a very involved subgame. I'm curious to see how they fit this all in one rule book.
Thanks a ton Archmage Variel. Great job in bringing it together, especially with the links to the articles. Just fantastic!
You should only post changes when updating the list.
I don't have a link to an article, but they said in the GenCon panel that Absolom Station was going to function as the center of the setting. This was due to jumps to Absolom Station be faster than equivalent length jumps elsewhere. The specific example was jumping to Absolom then flying to Aktion being faster than jumping right to Aktion.
Perhaps we can get clarification in the "Ask" thread.
Also, the quote there was "More Star Wars than Star Trek, with a little Firefly mixed in". I can see the exact words varying by interview and speaker.
You should make this a Google doc for ease of update and reference.

I wonder if this could have something to do with the fact that Absalom Station stands in place of Golarion
Golarion has disappeared yet the other planets' orbits presumably function as they did before. Seems like there are very strange space-time properties where Golarion once was (and where Absalom Station now is)

I don;t think the Golarion universe, or at least the 'immediate' region around the Golarion solar system, is ruled purely by what we understand as physics. I am guessing that magic has as much influence on celestial mechanics as the 'laws' f physics do.
One really big example: Golarion'ss sun is literally a huge ball of fire with a hole to the elemental place of fire at the center. It has beings who reside on it's surface. It is NOT a nuclear fusion engine as far as I know.
Really like those space combat roles, really see what they mean by Star Trek (different people filing different roles) mixed with firefly (only one person really does it, everyone specializes) Ships will probably be fairly small, somewhat intimate. That's pretty neat, totally what I was going to see too. Love it!

I tell you, that's the reason that the Vogons Abadar Corp. removed Golarion to put in a Hyperspace Bypass

Hyperspace Travel:
-Can only be accessed with technology, not magic (3)
-Has differing environmental effects depending on distance traveled (3)
-A small jump has little effect of the outside world (3)
-A large jump can cause pieces of the multiverse to be sucked into the hyperspace dimension, causing the dimension to grow and sometimes spitting beings and pieces of other planes out (3)
{. . .}
See? It fits perfectly. Ingrate Humans don't appreciate all the Vogons' Abadar Corp.'s efforts in favor of advancing galactic civilization, and instead seek to put Vogons Abadar Corp.'s Hyperspatial Engineering Department out of work. Think of how many Hyperspatial Engineering jobs could be created and how much galactic commerce could be improved if the Planetary Removal Program were extended!

I'm just concerned with the lack of accommodations they're making for gas based organisms. How are we supporting our Brethedan citizens?
^What -- you mean they won't have beans in Starfinder?
Alignment is still a thing.
7 of the old Core 20 are part of the new Core 20, namely Iomedae, Sarenrae, Abadar, Zon-Kuthon, Desna and two others who I am drawing a blank on (possibly Urgathoa and maybe Norgorber?)
The other two were Pharasma and Urgathoa.
No Sheylin, that is disappointing to hear.
Threats include The Swarm (think Tyranids or Zerg) and Space Pirates.
No Sheylin, that is disappointing to hear.
They said that (most) of the old Core 20 are still around, just not as widely worshiped (i.e. since dwarves are no longer core it would be odd that Torag was still a majorly woshiped god).
Monsters in the First Contact Free RPG day product include space goblins, space pirates, robots, space liches, sarcesians, and an insectoid race who's name I didn't catch (maybe something like haan?). The sarcesians, goblins, and insectoid race will be playable (not core though)!
I've got a huge list of announced information. If people want I'll post it but I'm a little too lazy to format it to far.
The Dominion of the Black is still around, and still jockeying with Lovecraft's boys for space.

That would be nice, considering I am just putting whatever I can remember on this thread, seeing as I didn't make any notes and have probably forgotten half of everything already.
Some creatures will be so big you will have to be in a starship to fight them.
There will be rules for various gravities and atmospheres.

Anything about towels...
I'll try to format it into the categories I had originally made so my horrible notes are at least readable.
The main setting is the Golarion solar system, with the various planets making up an organization called the "Pact Worlds"
Anything about towels...
Nothing overt.
I'll try to format it into the categories I had originally made so my horrible notes are at least readable.
Thanks, that would be amazing.
Weapons will have different "tiers" designating when you can get them.
Every class will have a viable ranged attack first level, but there will still be melee options (i.e. laser swords)
It will be possible to magic tech weapons, via "infusions".
Traits will be replaced by a mechanic called "themes".

Large (Sometimes larger than a spaceship sized) Space Creatures
Known Organizations to Survive:
The Starfinder Society
Deity Churches
The Hellknights
Starfinder Archetypes:
-Different/New
-An archetype can normally be applied to ANY class for the most part (Maybe spell caster only archetypes for example)
-There will be “one” in the core rulebook
“Themes” for particular classes
Backgrounds that effect class abilities
Themes don’t replace class features, they’re add-ons
Archetypes were explained rather oddly, so I may be completely wrong here, but I came under the impression that archetypes would be umbrella things that each class could take to gain different abilities (i.e. for the Archetype "Good-at-not-dying" a Mechanic might trade out his robot buddy, but an Envoy might trade out something completely different.)
Lots of useful stuff.

Forgot they split AC into EAC and KAC. Presumably energy armor class and kinetic armor class.
