This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Sci-Fi/Space Opera Hacks for World of Dungeons

World of Dungeons is a really lite (just 2 or 3 pages of rules) version of Dungeon World (for those who didn't know).  I've seen a few versions floating around modifying these abbreviated rules for other genres, but haven't seen one for straight sci-fi/space opera.  Does anyone know of one out there?

Never seen anything like that. You might be better off just using the hacking advice from Apocalypse World itself. Or tracking down a copy of Simple World, it's kind of a DiY toolkit for *World games without any implicit or explicit fiction attached.

There is a Star Wars hack for Worlds of Dungeons: https://sentientgames.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/star-worlds/

If you want to go with Apocalypse World hacks, I recommend Uncharted Worlds (http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/162122/Uncharted-Worlds). Its more traditional in presentation than the usual AW Hacks too.
