Dear Paizo team,
as a selfish wish of mine, I like to request to move a Starfinder NPC Core up in your release schedule. While you may think "Isn't Alien Core not enough for a while", truth is, that for many GMs having a large cadre of NPCs makes things much easier.
Like for me, who is currently converting an SF1 AP into SF2 and while borrowing from PF2 NPC Core can serve as a starting point, I'd really like to have stats for vidgamers, coporate agents, and the like on my hand without the time-consuming convertion (which may still come with special NPCs, but then I only have to add and remove some abilities most of the time).
Thank you for your consideration.
I'd also like to request this. With how urban Starfinder is, having NPCs would make improvised encounters significantly easier. This is my most wanted book for the system.
The just anncounced Absalom Station book might have a bunch of NPCs according to the description: "An astounding array of foes and friends likely to show up on a space station."
For non-combat NPCs, I use the SF1e Deck of Endless NPCs. It's also a great way to add some species that haven't made it over from SF1e yet.
I need to pick that up, looks great! There aren't enough Starfinder focused random tables out there. I recently picked up the book 'The Perilous Void' to try and fill that gap.

I think for Starfinder, having NPCs in a book like this makes more sense than a dedicated NPC book. A galaxy of NPCs is too big to fit into one book, and you want new locations to feel unexplored, so it's better to include new NPCs as new areas are explored.

There is also a Deck of Many Worlds for SF1e, the only adjustment needed to use it with SF2e is that you might have to replace, adjust, or make up stats for the threat species (the deck just names the threat.)

Something else worth noting, the next Novel was also just announced, "Assault on Absalom Station." coming out around the same time as the Absalom Station book.
