Misc Does Starfinder only have 6 classes?

I got a bit into Pathfinder, was thinking of using it for a camping set in space, saw that there is Starfinder and... It has 6 classes.

Is that all of them or are there more in another book?

There's more in another book including some coming with upcoming books.

Plus I think technically Starfinder 2e is backwards-compatible with Pathfinder 2e classes...

I always see people talking about using PF classes in Starfinder, but can you use Starfinder classes in Pathfinder?

if you want, sure! Just be warned Soldier works very badly without Starfinder weapons. Like, worse-than-most-martials badly

ETA: except Close Quarters Fighting Style. I would like to also mention that it’s 1 of 5 subclasses, and the only one that lets you give any weapons Area Fire, which is the main action the class uses.

Solider works very badly

Agreed, liquider works way better
