Among the free MMOs out there, Anarchy Online is pretty easily the best in my book, and it is a Science fiction setting like you asked for. The classic version of the game is free, and features enough content to keep you entertained for potentially years without upgrading. Its weak point is the graphics, while good, they are outdated.
Guild Wars is too short, not nearly enough content. Shadowbane is chaotic, poorly maintained and full to the brim with a**holes. Pretty much all the others are not even worth mentioning, especially the Asian based ones.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. Hemingway
I recommend Guild Wars,it has no monthly fee you just pay a one time fee from store and I think the price dropped as well. Graphics are nice and I never had any lag . Although I don't play it anymore I might install it again when the next expansion is released
Also I heard from some people that Silk Road Online is ok,Harsh grind and kinda of repetive but only going by from what I read. Anyways good luck in your search
GW is way too short for me, I bought it last summer so I could play it whole summer but I got really bored in no time. If you are going to try GW you should be warned that it's not a real MMO, some take it as one but some don't. NCSoft said that it's not. If I'd take it as MMO I'd hate it but as normal online RPG it's great game.

Anarchy Online is the best free game out.
