This may sound strange to anyone who has not been to Ocherva, but that night, under the twinkling stars I found my destiny on a barren moon on the wild frontier...
Interesting. I thought of "Ocherva" more like a planetary romance; more about the mystery/majesty of the landscape and the deep connection the protag felt for the place, despite you using flavor words like "frontier" and "lawless land" and "snake and whistle rat."
That connection to the land, of course, is very much a part of the western tradition (a la Louis L'Amour), but I'm not sure it has translated as thoroughly to the space western genre as some of western's other elements. Up for discussion, though. Anyone?
