"Planet" is a term whose etymology originates from the Greek word for "wanderer" — and while most planets in fiction can be found "wandering" in orbits around a star (or [[BinarySuns multiple stars]]), this one truly is wandering — completely alone.

For obvious reasons these planets tend to be {{Single Biome Planet}}s of the frozen and [[AlwaysNight dark]] varieties, although if they're covered in a thick ice sheet, life might flourish in liquid oceans heated by the planet's core — a moon orbiting one of these planets might also get enough energy from tidal forces to have a liquid interior.

Normally this wouldn't matter thanks to interplanetary travel using fixed wormholes, but these planets also ''generate'' unstable wormholes in nearby locations, thus generating entirely new, if temporary routes around the place. Up to ten can be found in a galaxy at a given time.

They make use of this by utilizing the resultant cracks and fissures as living space and resources.

* ''VideoGame/StarControl3'': The Owa are one of very few alien races in the franchise whose homeworld can't simply be happened across as you're exploring. That's because your ship's navigation is based on travel from star system to star system, and the Owa inhabit a rogue planet. You can't travel there without coordinates straight from the Owa themselves.

* Poul Anderson's ''Satan's World'' features one of these (excerpt available [[https://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/macguffinite.php#satanworld here]]). This one's special because it's a rogue planet temporarily passing by a star, heating it up enough to give it an atmosphere and hydrosphere while still leaving it colder than a habitable planet. This would make it a good place to build {{Transmutation}} plants on, which produce so much waste heat that a planet-sized heat sink is needed.
