Space Opera	comment	Space Opera refers to works set in a spacefaring civilization, usually set in the far future or A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... Technology is ubiquitous and secondary to the story. Space opera has an epic character to it: the universe is big, there are usually many sprawling civilizations and empires, there are political conflicts and intrigue. The action will range across part of a solar system at a minimum, and more commonly will extend over large tracts of a galaxy or several. It frequently takes place in a Standard Sci Fi Setting. It has a romantic element which distinguishes it from most hard science fiction: big love stories, epic space battles, oversized heroes and villains, awe-inspiring scenery, and insanely gorgeous men and women. Historically, it is a development of the Planetary Romance that looks beyond the exotic locations that were imagined for the local solar system in early science fiction (which the hard light of science revealed to be barren and lifeless) out into an infinite universe of imagined exotic locations. Planetary Romance was more or less Heroic Fantasy In Space. While works such as John Carter of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs were pure Planetary Romance, Buck Rogers and its imitators had essentially codified the Space Opera concept in the popular imagination by the late 1930s, though the earliest strips took place on an After the End future Earth. (Flash Gordon, at least in the classic Alex Raymond era, remained resolutely Planetary Romance, tied to the planet Mongo.) Military Science Fiction is another similar genre which may sometimes overlap, but is not quite the same. The main difference is that military science fiction places a greater focus on warfare (and the attendant technology used to fight it), while space opera is epic and places a greater focus on adventure and Melodrama. Expect to see a dashing hero cavorting around in a Cool Starship, Green Skinned Space Babes, Crystal Spires and Togas civilizations full of Space Elves, Wave Motion Guns capable of dealing an Earth-Shattering Kaboom on a daily basis, and an evil Galactic Empire with a Standard Sci-Fi Fleet, including an entire universe full of beat-up mechanical objects capable of being resurrected with Percussive Maintenance. Note that this is quite different from the original definition of space opera, which was originally a derogatory term, following "horse opera" (cheap westerns) and "Soap Opera" (so named because soap operas began as hour-long ads for soap), which requires no explanation. The phrase was coined in 1941 by Wilson Tucker to describe what he called "the hacky, grinding, stinking, outworn space-ship yarn". (It's said that before 1975 or so, the only author who ever intentionally set out to write a space opera was Jack Vance, who wrote a novel, Space Opera, literally about an opera company in space.) Via semantic drift, well-regarded works such as the Lensman series are today held up as prime examples of Space Opera. As more authors and writers came to embrace the style, the term came to lose many of its negative connotations. Assisting that process were writers who regarded all tales of action and adventure in space as bad, and so tried to pejoratively label it all "space opera"; they succeeded with the label, but not with keeping it pejorative. The ideal space opera, as described by Brian Aldiss, contains most if not all of the following criteria: The world must be in peril. There must be a quest. And a man or woman to meet the mighty hour. That man or woman must confront aliens and exotic creatures. Space must flow past the ports like wine from a pitcher. Blood must rain down the palace steps. And ships launch out into the louring dark. There must be a woman or man fairer than the skies. And a villain darker than a Black Hole. And all must come right in the end. Star Wars is inarguably the most famous modern example of space opera. (Indeed, The Empire Strikes Back may have shifted "space opera" from insult to a more neutral genre descriptor, due to the involvement of veteran sf writer Leigh Brackett.) In Star Wars, technology is either magic (the Force) or jazzier versions of today's gadgets (blaster rifles, hovercars, space ships). Any Star Wars character (evil emperor, farmboy, princess) would feel at home in a thick fantasy novel, in part because editor-publisher Lester del Rey derived the "epic fantasy" template partly from Star Wars and partly from The Lord of the Rings, though also because these works borrow from the same source of Jungian imagery. The genre is useful for long story and character arcs but also expensive to film, unless rendered in animated form, like countless anime series. Space Opera is defined above all by one thing: hard science will never be allowed to get in the way of storytelling. How exactly the hyperdrive works to jump from planet to planet isn't important. The focus is on the characters and themes of the overarching story. For the same reason, certain common tropes like Planet of Hats and Single-Biome Planet tend to appear frequently in Space Opera (though harder science fiction is by no means immune to them). For storytelling purposes, interstellar civilizations are analogous to countries, and planets analogous to cities. Space Opera is an Earth-sized story lifted onto the galactic scale. The logistical challenges that would actually result from this are safely ignored. While hard science fiction defines itself in part in opposition to space opera (and vice versa), in recent years, however, there has been a trend towards incorporating hard science fiction elements into space opera, as in Starship Operators, Battlestar Galactica (2003), Firefly and especially Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space Series. In fact, "New Space Opera" has gained some currency as a term referring to works that combine fast-paced adventure plots with some degree of hard SF rigor. See also Space Western, Two-Fisted Tales, Pulp Magazine, and Wagon Train to the Stars. In many ways, this is the science fiction equivalent of High Fantasy. Captain Space, Defender of Earth! and the eager young Space Cadet heroically call this trope home and are proud of it. Note that while many more famous space operas go to the "ideal" side of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, more recent ones are harder and more cynical: Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and Firefly being most prominent in Live-Action TV. Sadly, there aren't too many actual Operas set IN SPACE! One famous example in the music world, however, is Swedish composer Karl-Birger Blomdahl's Aniara (1959), based on Martinson's poem (1956). Contrast with Mundane Dogmatic, a 2004-era subgenre of hard science fiction which bans stories about intergalactic travel, extraterrestrials, and faster than light ships. Examples

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy followed suit (unlike its Japanese counterpart, Seijuu Sentai Gingaman), depicting a human colony ship's season-long journey to a new world. Along the way the Rangers deal with Space Pirates, a ruthless Anti-Hero with a tragic past who ends up sacrificing himself, and the (temporary) death of one of their own. Power Rangers Cosmic Fury is set on various planets across the galaxy as the Rangers work to free the universe from Lord Zedd's reign of terror. There's an eclectic array of locations, from the worm monster-infested desert of Erridus to the lush sentient forest of Levvina. There's palace intrigue to spare at Zedd's castle, high stakes romance subplots for the two official couples, and an ongoing mystery about life, death, and the afterlife (not that they can say so in those exact words.)

Space Opera / int_45ab894	comment	Captain EO, a Disney Theme Parks 3-D movie, is less than 20 minutes long but clearly takes place in this genre: A dashing hero with a crew of misfit alien creatures is sent on a mission to transform a grim, H.R. Giger-esque planet. There's a skirmish with the evil Supreme Commander's fleet of starships, and later the heroes are taken captive by her forces — but they use The Power of Rock to turn into it a land of Crystal Spires and Togas and its people (including the ruler) into happy, Day-Glo dancers.

It also has elements of Top Gun as well (with main character Christopher Blair's [canon] callsign "Maverick" being a direct shout out). Chris Roberts' current project, the MMO game Star Citizen is also an example. Furthermore, it has been conceived as a persistent online universe that's constantly evolving. In addition, there's also its single player campaign "Squadron 42", described as a Spiritual Successor to the above mentioned Wing Commander franchise.

Space Opera / int_4f6620a5	comment	Earth: Final Conflict: Another posthumous series from Gene Roddenberry. The pilot takes place only 3 years after First Contact. What the series captured perfectly, but ignored in later seasons, was that humans had only recently come to terms with an alien race as part of their world. The lead actor was run off the show because the studio felt that it needed to be more episodic. And then they did it again in season five; not a good sign when you have to continually cycle cast members to save money. The tone of the show changed from a sci-fi detective story ("Who are the Taelons and what do they want in exchange for improving Earth") to a Monster of the Week show with very few sci-fi concepts beyond those already established. Sandoval, played by the capable Von Flores, turned out to be the saving grace of the series at that moment, something even the execs could not topple.

Technically the center-of-operations is on a single planet (Earth in Stargate SG-1, the Atlantis base in Stargate Atlantis), but with the instant wormholes provided by the Stargate, the bases function like a spaceship or space station in a standard Space Opera, as far as most story purposes go. Both series also have the Big Universe, Big Empires, Big Heroes, and Big Villains elements in spades, and it gets bigger yet once Earth has a space fleet. However, many individual episodes, especially in early seasons, feel more like Planetary Romance. Stargate Universe, the second spin-off, is probably closer to a traditional Space Opera.

There's a century-long war between two galactic polities: one that is more or less good, and one that is more or less evil. There's a hero who leads the good guys to victory, being an unintentional Keeper of Forbidden Knowledge (namely, the knowledge of fleet tactics, forgotten over the course of the Forever War). There are hidden forces working behind the scenes. The Genesis Fleet prequel also reveals that the protagonist of the main series has a Secret Legacy he never knew about, i.e. that an ancestor of his was a hero too.

Encounters include Space Pirates, warlords fighting over crumbling fragments of the old civilization, desperate civilians, and people committing heinous acts in the name of survival.

Space Opera / int_7de8951a	comment	Traveller was the first RPG set in the Space Opera genre, and set the standard for those that followed. It's in the harder end of Space Opera and a lot of work went into the Backstory including fairly realistic science and social science. Traveller is flexible enough that a wide variety of flavors of Space Opera can be played, since the setting is one designed for the telling of stories.

Space Opera / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek, perhaps the most famous example in television, with its grand tales of interstellar exploration, romance, intrigue, and war. Though there is (some) serious consideration of how technology and science would change society (not surprising, given that creator Gene Roddenberry originally envisioned using the setting to address social issues that could not have been dealt with in a normal drama back in the 60s). Coincidentally, there was in fact a Star Trek Opera performed on stage in New York.

Space Opera / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 has adventure, battles, intrigue, and fantasy (including Space Elves, Orks, and even Gods), all in a setting where mankind possesses a galaxy-spanning empire with planet-spanning cities and a population in the trillions. However it's also overloaded with about as much cynicism, grimness, and darkness as you can get (hence the common description "grimdark", for which its tagline is the Trope Namer).

Space Opera / int_c43df4d8	comment	Although Doctor Who is not Space Opera in itself, some individual stories make use of the subgenere. "Mission to the Unknown" and the epic twelve-part "The Daleks' Master Plan". Oddly, "Mission to the Unknown", the prelude episode, feels like an Unbuilt Trope version of the sort of stories Star Trek popularised. "Mission to the Unknown" has the Space agent Marc Cory discovering the Dalek plot to invade Earth's solar system, but dies before he can even send a message of warning. Earth's central government, which encompasses the whole system, also has a subtly dystopian feel to it. "The Space Pirates" "Frontier in Space" and "Planet of the Daleks", two interconnected serials which were originally conceived as a single twelve part story like the earlier "The Daleks' Master Plan", though of a very different kind. The Doctor wants to prevent a war between two space empires, while the Master is trying to start one so the Daleks can wipe out both sides once they've exhausted themselves. "Earthshock" "The Caves of Androzani" acts as a Genre Deconstruction of the space opera. Drawing strong influence from Dune, it sees the Doctor caught up in a drug war between rival factions on two sister planets. However, not only is the conflict portrayed as an ignobly brutal case of Black-and-Gray Morality, but the Doctor also tries to stay out of the main conflict to little avail, with his main goal instead being rescuing Peri after he and she accidentally contract a painful and lethal poisoning. The first few seasons of the Revival Series have several notable examples: "Bad Wolf"/"The Parting of the Ways": Set on a satellite in a bleak Used Future, it starts with our heroes trapped in deadly game shows and ends with them facing down an entire Dalek army led by The Emperor. "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit", with an added dose of Lovecraft Lite. A drilling operation on an asteroid orbiting a black hole unearths the Devil himself. "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End": The heroes of the main show and both its spinoffs join forces against Davros and the Daleks, who have stolen multiple planets to build a Doomsday Device the size of a solar system. "World Enough and Time"/"The Doctor Falls": The Doctor, Bill and Nardole are trapped on a spaceship with an army of Cybermen and two versions of the Master. One of them is developing a conscience, the other one really isn't. Time dilation, personal tragedy, dramatic last stands and plenty of explosions are involved.

During the first season, Moore stuck to his guns about keeping it a family drama, but the last few episodes were so packed with story because the showrunners knew they weren't going to get a second season, and didn't want to leave their open storylines dangling in the wind.

The sequel took this premise much further, exploring both the history and the aftermath of the war in great detail, and charging the player with liberating the entire human race and its allies from slavery, while also saving the rest of the galaxy from mass genocide. The backstory as presented in-game spans several dozen millennia, and the game itself takes place across an entire quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy.
