While many of the aforementioned new classes, options, etc of the COM are indeed game-changers that have reinvigorated my interest in the system, I noticed yesterday that the kasatha on the chapter art of pg 144 has his in-profile face COMPLETELY UNCOVERED. At last!
Hopefully he's too drunk to remember shaming himself and his clan in front of the iconic biohacker. She, for one, seems too polite to react. Possibly a feudal Japanese 'if nobody acknowledges the faux pas it didn't really happen and nobody needs to get stabbed' thing.

It's probably a shapeshifted reptoid (or astrazoan), unaware of the cultural taboo.
It's nothing but subtle marketing for the next AP.

This is exactly my unofficial canon for this scene.
Alternatively, he could be a real kasatha raised as an orphan by another species out in the Vast. By the time he found out about the face covering taboo, he saw no reason to follow it among people who were used to seeing his uncovered face.
That would let this picture be an accurate representation of a kasatha face while preserving the general cultural taboo.
