Space Opera

Space opera is a subgenre of speculative fiction or science fiction that emphasizes romantic, often melodramatic adventure, set mainly or entirely in space, generally involving conflict between opponents possessing powerful (and sometimes quite fanciful) technologies and abilities. Perhaps the most significant trait of space opera is that settings, characters, battles, powers, and themes tend to be very large-scale.

Also see Planetary Romance, which has similarities.

Christopher Ruocchio
Evil occurs because we are insufficient to challenge it. Too weak to stop it at the gates, too blind to see it bubbling within. Were we all angels in our virtue and heroes in our capacity, we might hold all chaos at bay, might stop even the unkindling of the stars. Yet we are but men.
Christopher Ruocchio, Ashes of Man

Naiyem Chowdhury Rony
Distance, as you once understood it, no longer applies to you.
Naiyem Chowdhury Rony, Universal Alien: Guardian of the Galaxy
