<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#472D9E">1. Slice of Spacefaring Life</span>
It's life, but on a spaceship! An interstellar journey could take hundreds of years, so you have some time to relax and take it easy. Do a little aeroponic gardening, enjoy stargazing from the bar, or immerse yourself in studying the latest nebula you're passing through.

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#5B28A3">2. R&R</span>
After being cooped up for days, weeks, or years, you and the crew are finally sliding into the nearest space station, colony, or commercial hub for a little break. Enjoy shopping, restaurants, and resorts!

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#841EAD">3. Space Piracy</span>
You're a bit of a rogue, but you like the independent life cruising among the stars and taking whatever you can find. It's only a crime if you get caught, right?

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#841EAD">4. Space Military</span>
Perhaps you're on the opposite end of the spectrum, and you prefer tight-laced uniforms and adherence to regulation. Enjoy political intrigue, internal and external strife, morally dubious empire building, and mecha battles!

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#AD14B7">5. Sleeper Ship</span>
You're on a very long journey, so long that most if not all of the crew have been put on ice for the trip. Whether by accident or design, you're awake - is anyone else up?

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#D60AC1">6. Emergency!</span>
Something has gone wrong! Your colony is under attack, or maybe the hull of your ship has been blown out by a passing asteroid. Can you repair the warp drive in time?!

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#FF00CB">7. Arrival</span>
At long last, solid ground! Get out there, it's a brand new (or new to you) planet or colony to explore! Maybe even a new species to meet or civilization to study. You're not wearing a red shirt, are you?

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#AD14B7">8. Intergalactic Bar</span>
Your standard hive of scum and villainy.

<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#841EAD">9. Space Brothel</span>
What it says on the tin. Get your xeno on!

Anything goes!</div></lj-cut>

the space opera (au?) meme

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.
