Starfinder How would Golarion's return affect Starfinder?

Just curious, if a GM was to have Golarion and its moon return, how do you think that would affect the Starfinder setting?

This is with the caveat that Golarion would look like Pathfinder today.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Let’s assume for the sake of argument that Absalom Station’s orbit is adjusted so it can co-exist with Golarion.

Personally, I'd rather have Pathfinder and Starfinder exist in different universes/dimensions.

That being said, it would have little effect on the Starfinder worlds (they have wizards already), but a profound effects on Golarian.

Kind of like if the aliens from the Barrier peaks module (AD&D) took up permanent residents in the D&D universe)
 

Given that Absalom Station is occupying the space Golarion would be if it was still around, I'd imagine there'd be a titanic explosion as all that matter suddenly tried to interpenetrate, utterly destroying the station and most or all of the ships parked near it, shattering Golarion into a rapidly-expanding spherical shell of planetary debris and releasing enough radiation all across the EM spectrum to sterilize the hemispheres of every world in the system facing the catastrophe when the lightspeed energy wave arrives (which might allow some distant worlds time to take some response, given FTL and psi/magic precognitive effects exist in the setting). Hard to guess whether the energy involved would be enough to also destabilize the star - it's "only" a planet and a biggish station involved, and the matter-to-energy conversion if likely to be pretty inefficient.

So, big boom, systemwide apocalypse, countless dead and massive, possibly unrecoverable ecosystem damage pretty much across the system, possibly even worse if planetary orbits get disrupted or the sun goes unstable as well.

Maybe use your second Wish to undo your first and try again? :)

And then Rovagug pulls his bits back together and starts eating everything else.
