Over the last few years my family and I have binged all of Star Trek, then moved on to Star Trek adjacent shows like The Orville and Stargate. At the moment we're not really watching anything sci-fi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar shows (or maybe some books) that fill the void left by Star Trek. In particular I really like the episodes that deal with interacting with other civilizations, diplomacy, and exploration more-so than say, an anomaly episode.

Or CJ Cherryh's Alliance Union universe (a good entry point is Downbelow Station, a good overview of the universe)

I didn’t see this before posting my own comment about The Faded Sun trilogy by her. It’s in the same universe
