* Flat space
* Dark space
Elements: (in order of significance)
* Space has NO friction
* Planetary bodies have gravity
* Astral bodies move (planetary orbits)

The order signifies on how blatantly obvious each of the element is when it is there or not (think, it takes 1 year for earth to move around the sun, for some planets it takes years to even rotate on their own axis let alone around their stars).
