According to the Pact Worlds advertisement at the back of Dead Suns 4, the following are the six new races coming next months in Pact Worlds:
"play as a member of one of six new alien races: shapechanging astrazoans, rolling bantrids, undead borais, plantlike khizars, robotic SROs, or winged strix."
Good catch - sounds like a fun mix.

I saw that! Looks like we're getting undead and robotic race options, which are sure to be popular. The others sound equally diverse.
I know some people are less than enthused about Starfinder's divorce of PC and NPC building rules, but if the benefit is this cornucopia of balanced playable race options, I think it's well worth it.
What, no cat barbarians from Vesk 6?
Suppose they'll come in the new Veskarium book. Someday.
Man, I know a player that's going to go nuts for the winged strix as an option lol.
Where my Dog-People at ?!?
Probably in the Veskarium book, along with the Catfolk. They chase each other from planet to planet.
LOL! Nice.

Wait... Shapeshifters AND Robots? I was on the fence about continuing my subscription. Not anymore.
And my birthday isn't even until April!
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! LADIES AN' GENTLEMEN!"
"STRIX WELCOMES YOU TO THE PACT WORLDS THEATRE!"
Astrazoans?
Oozemorphs... In.... Space...?

Oh, there's a parasite in an orc in a cave in a planet in a solar system in a galaxy in a universe in a plane in spaaaaace!
Rolling Bantrids?? Consider my curiosity Piqued! I can finally make my Sonic OC in space!!
Wait, Strix? Really? Weren't they wiped out by the humans ages ago? :-P

Here's my guesses as to what these things are and where they're from:
This literally means star animal so I'm guessing this is a ball of light fire that can shapeshift from the Sun.
Crash Bandicoot anyone? So this is likely a totally not Sonic the Hedgehog/Crash Bandicoot you guys like creature that can roll(a la Sonic possibly Crash?) and is a marsupial. I am guessing they are Akitonian like the Ysoki.
It feels like this is potentially a reference to Boris Karloff, so probably some sort of zombie(even though Frankenstein's Mosnter is likely not a zombie.) Obviously Eox.
I'm torn about this one, the sentient plants on Castrovel are called Sonoma Tree-Sages when previously referenced and these creates are definitely castrovellean, its possibly that this is just the racial name of the Sonoma Tree-Sages.
Likely another sentient robotic race from Aballon, best guess for what SRO stands for are: Sentient Robotic Organism. (hat tip to the SFS OP discord for this one.)
Strix are likely the same as they were in Pathfinder, best guess as to where they're from is Verces darkside (hat tip to the Starfinder discord for this one.)
What, no cat barbarians from Vesk 6?I know EXACTLY when and where we'll be releasing those. :)
*scowls*

*Excited cat sounds*
Also, will they be actual barbarians? You know, getting really angry helps even in space. I hope that such option will be available for soldiers at some moment, if not talking about actual separate class.
There's a Starfinder discord? Tell me more! (Please.)
For the even lazier than me.
After catching up on the Know Direction Gen Con seminar coverage I'm going with astrazoans being seven armed shapeshifting starfish (if my hearing is correct.)
Where was that mentioned?

It was one of the seminars with the Starfinder Design Team, they were talking about designing creatures and exploring the Pact Worlds.
