Yup, exactly. I want as little fantasy as possible mixed in with my Sci-Fi. Also, I'd prefer to stay away from the big "franchises" as well. Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. I'm looking for something unique, yet also engaging.

Thanks for the recommendation of Altered Carbon, but it appears to deal with investigation/crime. I'm looking more for space opera type novels, I guess.
