Don't know if solar system only counts as space opera, but @sjgames 's "GURPS Transhuman Space" setting has a very pre-WWI vibe, with the EU, US, China, The Transpacific Socialist Alliance, the Pacific Rim Alliance, and India all as significant powers with interests throughout the solar system.
Plus infosocialists, and two flavors of anarchists.
Includes computer AIs, artificial lifeforms, genetically engineered everything, and human uploads.
Today I made a 3D model of the Predator class AKV from Transhuman Space
#WritersCoffeeClub day 29: Talk about an experience you've had with plagiarism.
I always cite my sources (my books have a massive bibliography), and I release my translations under a #CreativeCommons Zero licence, so there has been no cause for plagiarism in my recent work.
That being said, I did learn that #Meta used some very old snippets I wrote for "Teralogos News" - that is, in-setting news for the #GURPS #TranshumanSpace line - to train their #AI , which counts.
If you want to check if your own work was used to train Meta's AI without permission, and want to know how to check the class action lawsuit, check this post by @Richard_Littler :

THS is a really neat hard-ish #SF setting (it gets harder if you call the start date 2200). What's extra "fun" about 1999 morally ambivalent #SF with a dark edge is that by today's real world standards it seems almost terminally optimistic.
Also: This is David L. Pulver's baby - enough said.

Interesting lineups.
I especially like the mention of International Super Teams. One of the neatest ways to keep mid- and high-power supers from not breaking the setting. The Soviet Union is such a useful actor...
Mine would be:
#TranshumanSpace
#Kahal / #SocietyOfRafa
#SidMeiersAlphaCentauri
#StarTrekDS9
#TheDarkEye
@auguryignored Close call between #GURPS #TranshumanSpace First Contact and GURPS #Technomancer Into the Infinite Worlds.
There might be another couple of nifty things, I'd like to write for, but I am only qualified for GURPS rules. Those two are not the most likely ones I'd actually write IRL, though. Something on South-German history is more likely and fanworks are actually on their way.
#CharacterCreationChallenge Day 15: GURPS Transhuman Space
So yes, I am cheating a bit today, because I already did #GURPS, but #TranshumanSpace is one of my favourite settings, so I will permit it.
GURPS:TS is a hard sci-fi setting in the Solar System (absolutely no FTL) in the year 2100. It's got sentient AIs, genetic engineering, biological computers, nanotech, memetics, and you could keep going. It's pretty weird in a frighteningly believable way. 1/3
