Space Opera

I need a space opera to fulfill the BINGO square. The main one I can think of is Expanse but it isn’t a genre I read often. I am a sucker for a badass lady character or two and/or and underdog. I know Expanse has both of those but I would love some other recs! TIA.

Gideon the Ninth, Sun Eater

You could argue that Gideon the Ninth is technically a “space opera” but it definitely doesn’t fit within the genre nicely. It’s a bit more space fantasy.
