 Seconding In Conquest Born and its sequel The Wilding, both by C. S. Friedman. In Conquest Born is definitely closer to space opera than its follow-up which is more of an adventure story but they're definitely both worth reading if you like space opera. The basic premise is that there's an intergalactic war between two distinct societies: the Braxi, a militaristic caste-society ruled by a steadily dwindling group of ruthlessly bred, genetically superior, infighting nobles; and the Azea, a more democratic society that has genetically engineered its members to harness psychic abilities.
