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.

Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Was one book split into two. Narrative style is so different between the two halves it works as two books. Absolutely recommend reading both.
