Temporal Recruit - Possible Changes

It has been said that the Temporal Recruit may happen later this year or early next year. It has also been said that updates to the Temporal Recruit are being done as well. What I am wondering at this point is if the TOS "faction" will include the Alien race? Without looking to cause an argument or be shredded for asking: the introduction of Discovery being before TOS in the timeline would behoove one to think that the Alien race should be included as a character option for new TOS toons if the Temporal Recruit event is ran. As the events of Discovery take place in 2255 (almost 10 years before TOS): we see many races on Discovery that were not a part of TOS. Given that CBS has stated that Discovery is considered canon: shouldn't the Alien race be available for new TOS toons? While I am grateful for the work that is being done to bring back the Temporal Recruit event: I am just wondering if anyone has heard what the changes are and if there is a possibility that the Alien race is included this time. Yes, I am aware that Discovery in reference to The Original Series is a touchy subject for many: I have posed this question just to get an idea of how to plan ahead for the Temporal Recruit (not looking to debate what is/what isn't canon or be the target of rant regarding either). I said that as I was advised to post that disclaimer in an attempt to not become the target of derogatory comments that have been experienced from previous posts on different subjects. HELPFUL information would be most appreciated.

Yet when TOS originally released in 2015-2016 it was also mostly limited to the founding core members of the Federation, yet as you say Discovery re-writing history with far more Alien species earlier on. But many like Saru you can't even play as a Discovery character... ...and were still waiting for Discovery Andorians.
Can't say for certain, still I don't think it will change... ...but be nice if they did.
What little information they have given out so far seems to be that they are scrambling to get enough scenarios polished up and linked to it to replace the ones which have been pulled since AoY was run. I sincerely hope that Spectres is one of them since it is the only arc that is more than just a brief cameo into TOS once the character gets to 2409, but I am expecting to be disappointed on that one since the devs don't seem to want to bother with it or any of the others relegated to the "availible" tab.
The Genesis package timing also possibly hints that they may be working on a few (probably movie era rather than TOS or TAS) ships to coincide with the next run of AoY but that is a really out on a limb guess.
Aliens were in TOS since the second or third episode (starting with Fesarians).

Something else that would be great would be if they rolled the T5 23rd century ship costumes into their T6 temporal counterparts (like the Ranger parts for the Paladin) which would make 23rd century ships more available to AoY captains since it would only be one ship to buy, not two. I highly doubt if Cryptic would do it though.
Same here.
> more missions in the TOS era would be cool, the TOS atmosphere is special and unique.
I totally agree with you.

They won't make an "era" for each show. SNW would still fall under Discovery era.
When they were talking about the T6 Malachouski they did bring up the Pioneer, and the possibility of somehow making her compatible with the Miranda line. So it is possible we may see a T6 Pioneer in the future.
I also wouldn't mind seeing that TOS raptor playable. We already got the battleship, which is a counterpart to the Fed Atlas and Romulan Thrai. Don't think we saw a TOS BoP though. Think it was just D7s, the D5 Raptors and D9 Dreads.
The T'Liss is the TOS Bird of Prey.
I was implying KLINGON BoP. I don't remember seeing a TOSified Klingon BoP. Just the Raptor and TOS Negh'Var.
The ENT era one looked similar to the B'rel mostly
