Non-military space opera recomendations (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I'm sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I've read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.

Thanks!

I’m not super clear on what genre space opera is exactly, but The Locked Tomb trilogy might fit the bill??

Star Wars, Firefly, and The Expanse are examples.

I feel like firefly and expanse put to much into realism to be properly space opera.
