I assume that during testing we will eventually see six species choices to create from: Human, Vulcan, Tellerite, Andorian, Rigilian AND Alien. As the first five are the established founders of the UFP. And the TOS episode, Journey to Babel, establishes additional Alien member to the Federation. New player's should be free to speculate on them through Alien Gen. To offer otherwise, suggests that player's are limited to being crew of only the Starship Enterprise. And not Captains and crew of the broader Starfleet that the expansion time period represents.
As someone entirely familiar with the infamous 2010 topic, The Great Caitian Mis-CommuniCAITIAN, I fought HARD to get the Caitian species included in the game at all. I do acknowledge that it exists for player's only as a Premium Species. I don't expect NEW player's - who have yet to use the in-game C-Store - to have freedom to create beyond the default species offered. BUT. As a previously established account holder and one who purchased a Premium Species through the C-Store, I expect to see my FED Premium Species at Character Creation on expansion launch day. And that is regardless of which FED Premium Species that may be. This is previously purchased and well-earned privilege. To offer otherwise, IMO, would suggest to me that Agents of Yesterday isn't an expansion at all. But its own separate game.
Devs, please clarify your intentions?
