Starfinder's Core Races in action. From left to right: Shirren, Human, Vesk, Lashunta, Kasatha, Android (Upper), Ysoki (Lower)
Android - Playable - Biomechanical humanoid constructs that resemble humans, but unlike robots or artificial intelligences, androids are possessed of and animated by mortal souls.
Human - Playable - Humanoids native to the Core Worlds system who are known for their adaptability, ambition, curiosity, and history of impulsive violence. They are one of the dominant races of the Core Worlds.
Kasatha - Playable - Four-armed humanoids native to the desert planet Kasath. Their homeworld's star is dying, and they consolidated their race into a massive worldship called the Idari to settle in the Core Worlds.
Lashunta - Playable - Humanoids native to the planet Castrovel in the Core Worlds. They are psychics with a unique self-determined pair of subraces, and are a prominent race in various governments.
Shirren - Playable - Locust-like humanoids commonly found in the Core Worlds. They were formerly members of a predatory, telepathic hive mind known as the Swarm, but have recently become independent and unique individuals - though they still strongly value communalism, they also seek harmonious relations with other races.
Space Goblin - Playable - Goblinoid creatures originally from Golarion who dwell on the fringes of other societies, scavenging amongst their waste and building their society in squalor. Though weak on their own, goblins often gather in huge numbers to overwhelm their enemies.
Vesk - Playable - War loving humanoid race resembling lizards who hail from Veskarium, an interplanetary empire near the Core Worlds.
Ysoki - Playable - Passionate and scrappy, the ratlike humanoids are experts at getting both into and out of trouble. They let their love of technology, exploration, and adventure carry them throughout the galaxy.
Zyjen - WIP - An aquatic war loving humanoid race resembling a hammerhead shark.
