"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 multiple stars), this one truly is wandering — completely alone. It wanders across the universe silently, without the light of a sun to provide heat. For obvious reasons these planets tend to be Single Biome Planets of the frozen and 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. If the planet was not always a lone wanderer, ruins of civilization might be found on it — dry cold is one of the best means of preservation we know of today, and ruins will thus be preserved for a very long time. Typically, the fact that the planet was flung away doesn't bode well for the civilization once found on it, though examples do exist where the original inhabitants managed to perform a Homeworld Evacuation, as well as ones where its inhabitants proved durable enough to survive such a grim fate. If one of these is deliberately built by a civilization, usually a Higher-Tech Species, possibly because their original sun was killed, or died and they wanted to Outrun the Fireball, it's a Planet Spaceship. See also Big Dumb Object, which may be mistaken for one of these at first glance. If the planet moved itself out of orbit, you might be dealing with a Genius Loci. |

AI War: Fleet Command: Nomad Planets wander all over the galaxy with seemingly random pace and direction. 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. | |

Kurzgesagt's video about What If Earth got Kicked Out of the Solar System? deals with how a rogue star entering our solar system could cause a mass extinction on Earth as we saw with the dinosaurs. It could also push Earth out of its orbit and turn it into a freezing rogue planet with no higher life left on its surface. | |

The Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Rogue Planet" features such a world, called Dakala. It's a Minshara-class planet with a breathable atmosphere and a temperate climate, provided by hot gasses venting from its interior. It somehow has plant life despite not having anything to power photosynthesis. | |

The Phantom Planet has a goofy B-Movie take on the subject. Rheton, the wandering planet of the title, has a population of tiny Human Aliens living on it — and when astronaut Frank Chapman lands, breathing the atmosphere makes him shrink to the size of the locals as well. | |

Remina: The titular planet emerged from a wormhole sixteen light-years away from Earth in a corner of the Hydra constellation and was observed to have an erratic, zigzagging orbit where stars around it vanish, until a scientist noticed that it turned around to the solar system's direction and made its way in a direct path. That's because it's alive and both an Eldritch Location and Abomination. | |

The Time Runs Out arc of The Avengers (Jonathan Hickman) involves a rogue planet on a collision course with Earth. An Iron (Wo)man from the year 3030 travels back in time to Set Right What Once Went Wrong and averts an evacuation of Earth by setting up machines to phase the whole planet into Earth and draw upon it as an energy source needed for an upcoming crisis. The disturbing part is that they're told the planet was thrown at the Earth, begging the question what being is capable of such a feat. | |

In Frontlines, the Washington ends up near a rogue planet after accidentally hitching a ride on a Lanky seed ship's Alcubierre drive. The rogue planet itself is a fairly ordinary gas giant, but one of its moons experiences enough tidal heating to be warm, wet, and habitable, though it is still utterly dark. This moon, "Green", is crawling with Lankies and may well be their homeworld. | |

This was carried over into Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, though the 2010 revisioning tried to make it more moon-like, since the original 1993 version hadn't explained what the planetoid was (although the unaired pilot does establish that the space dumpster crash-landed on the moon).

Space: 1999 deals with the perils the people of Moonbase Alpha endure when a massive nuclear explosion kicks the Moon out of orbit and wanders thru the galaxy on its own volition, courtesy of running into wormholes and other phenomena. While it's not outright a planet, it still hits the trope's notes of civilisation facing adversity (not to mention that there are planets smaller than the Moon). | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Elder Evil known as Atropus, the World Born Dead, is an Undead Abomination in the shape of a planetoid, which roams the universe in search of inhabited planets. As it approaches a world and installs itself as a new moon, it causes an escalating Zombie Apocalypse. Stars infested by the power of the Far Realms dance and waver across the sky at will, driven by a malign intelligence. They're also prone to reach out to mortal minds, offering them pacts to become Warlocks. Allabar, the "Opener of the Way," is an intelligent, malevolent planet covered in eyes and tentacles that moves through the cosmos towards those hostile stars, helping their star spawn descend to the world of mortals. |

Numenera: Xeobrenicus is a planet that drifts through interstellar space, and consequently lacks any external source of light and energy. Instead, it's permeated with large stores of a unique radioactive mineral, which provides the energy to keep its global ocean from freezing and serves as the basis of its biosphere while also making it too irradiated for offworld life to survive on its surface. | |

The Star Wars Legends universe features one of these in the sentient planet Zonama Sekot. First introduced in the aptly-named Rogue Planet, Zonama Sekot was a seed of the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld Yuuzhan'tar, which found its way from the Vong's home galaxy to the setting of the Star Wars universe. Sometime shortly after the events of The Phantom Menace, the planet was attacked by Tarkin (yes, that Tarkin) and up and fled into hyperspace. The planet continued to wander for some 30-odd years before Luke and Mara lead an expedition to track it down, and determine just what its connection is to the Vong. They ultimately enlist the planet's aid in putting an end to the war. | |

The Owa from Star Control 3 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. | |

In Have Space Suit – Will Travel, Wormface's planet gets turned into this by the Three Galaxies Council. Kip figures, okay, exile: it's rough justice but fair; they were going to turn Earth into a human meat ranch, after all. The Mother Thing (a Galactic operative) sets him straight: "You do not understand, dear gentle Kip — they do not take their star with them." | |

Queen Millennia: The Tenth Planet La-Metal has been cycling to and from Earth every 1000 years on a wide orbit since at least the era of trilobites. It's explained by a deified "Black Sun" Lar orbiting parallel to the Solar System and dragging La-Metal behind. | |

Transformers: Cybertron wanders through space without an orbit, which is why the characters tend to rely on a teleportation device to make it back and forth. Similarly, Unicron's vehicle mode, itself a planet, flies through space of its own volition. | |
