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.

A celestial wizard doesn’t destroy celestial bodies. She bends them.
Andri E. Elia, Borealis: A Worldmaker of Yand Novel

Moim największym błędem było to, że wierzyłem, iż samodzielnie podejmuję decyzje. Nawet najbardziej spostrzegawczy człowiek może nie zauważyć sznurków, za pomocą których ktoś kieruje nim jak marionetką. - Xavier Harkonnen, prywatny list do Voriana Atrydy
Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson
