so /tg/ I've been trying to come up with a sort of elements wheel for a setting. what i'm trying to do is a space version of the typical natural elements that make up a world, the typical fire water earth and air set up.
but I'm having to trouble coming up with what would be relevant to a space civilisation.
the only ones I'm really set on would be gravity and maybe stars but that's about it.
does anyone have any ideas?
Fire > Light
Air > Air, since unless they no longer have lungs, air is still important
Earth > Metal
Water > Water, since star travelers would probably rely on water to see if a planet is habitable

Gravity, space time, matter, dark, energy, heat, light

I like this idea

All elements in fantasy usually draw from real life elemental lists.
There's the Greek classical elements
Fire
Water
Earth
Air
Aether (Spirit)
And the Chinese Daoist elements
Water
Earth
Fire
Metal
Wood
So groups of five are probably the way to go, and you should probably choose the most basic forms of matter a space faring civilization would encounter.
