The series is "A Galaxy Unknown" by Thomas DePrima, with the first being entitled the same, i.e. "A Galaxy Unknown".
From the authors website: http://www.deprima.com/novels.html
" As with C.S. Forester's popular Horatio Hornblower novels, this series offers a slightly larger-than-life military officer whose involvement in epic space battles manifest a destiny of renown and prestige.
Newly graduated from the Northern Hemisphere Space Academy, our young Ensign is a victim of events that frequently spiral out of control, and seem to conspire to move her from obscurity to galactic fame. Space pirates, arch criminals, and alien civilizations envious of the territories controlled by the Galactic Alliance, provide a unceasing labyrinth of problems for our heroine. "
Currently 6 books in the series, from Amazon for Kindle & offthebookshelf.com for ePub.

I am currently reading the 5th book in the series "Milor!" and it is a cracking read.
I would second the recommendation, though would place it as military SF rather than Space Opera.
