Space Opera was a science fiction role-playing game published by Fantasy Games Unlimited in 1980. Designed by Edward E. Simbalist and A. Mark Ratner, it offered an expansive, detailed system intended to simulate a wide variety of space-faring adventures. The game emphasized realism and depth, with complex rules covering character creation, alien species, starship design, combat, and interstellar travel. Set in a generic sci-fi universe rather than a specific narrative setting, Space Opera allowed players and game masters the flexibility to craft their own galaxies, civilizations, and epic stories inspired by classic science fiction literature and film.
