Zuckuss, one of the bounty hunters Vader gathered in Empire, was a gand. Makes sense for the smuggler/bounty hunter book to have them.

Yeah… he and a lot of those bounty hunters were featured in "Shadows of the Empire". Still pretty obscure… one character and one minor appearance.
I suppose it is kind of odd like choosing Trandoshians when the old "Star Wars Galaxies" came out. Now that race seems more standard, haha. I guess though Bossk was featured prominently, where Zuk was not.

Ooryl Qrygg was a Gand who appeard in the X-Wing series. When learning about him and his species, he would always mention that they were great hunters, and he himself was an accomplished pilot!

There was another Gand who was on Jabiim with Anakin, part of a cadre of padawans who were left in command after Kenobi was caprtured. Skywalker thought he was dead, so there was some dark sidey-ness, including what I think was his first use of force choke, in an attempt to restart someones heart. That didn't go over well.
So with Duros, there were the 2 in the cantina, and 1 smuggler who joined Talon Kardde's cause during the Thrawn trilogy (I think), and Cad Bane from Clone Wars.
Gands had Ooryl Qrygg, Zuckuss, that padawan I just mentioned.
Well, it looks more or less even to me, but Duros look SO easy to mod from a human, heck, I might even use human stats for a ton of stuff. Or the basic "1 stat, 3 stat, 2stats, +1 skill" formula.
My player's are spoiled from the Saga books, so they'll want Fosh, Sluissi, Ryn, and many more… that might prove a it more awkward to mod.
I keep track of my campaigns on obsidian portal, some more than others… same screen name if you're interested in hunting down the game logs etc

Do we know whether or not the 2nd and 3rd rulebooks will feature the same, or different, races to play? Differing available races seems like a good way to go, as it allows FFG to provide you with 32 races (including human once) without even touching upon expansions. Of course, this does have some drawbacks: if all the new products only provided new races, then you'd need to get a different rulebook in order to play a preferred species (like Rodian, or Gand), even if your original intention was to only purchase one.
I think the plan is to integrate the 3 books, but also have them as complete stand alones. That said, I would expect to find human in every book, however, the other races would change around alot, for instance Duros, in the pilots and soldiers book (though if I remember correctly they are less pilot and more navigator, will have to re-look at that), I would think Weequay to be in there too. I would expect a future EotE book to contain the Nikto, etc… Either way, the species are all pretty easy to just lift from book to book and apply the correct career to.
What I am really curious about is if we are going to see EU species, or just core canon. Will the verpine be around? What about the squibs?

I agree that the assessment that humans will be in all the books. However, the only guaranteed races in the second book has to be the Mon Calamari - They had such a huge presence in the Rebellion, that it is a no brainer.

Ithorians: Agility 1, Willpower 3; start with a rank in Perception.
… seems easy enough.
