In settings taking place on a planet or natural satellite, the planet or natural satellite is generally in one piece. In a Shattered World, this is not the case. Maybe magic or science has Gone Horribly Wrong, causing an Earth-Shattering Kaboom, or maybe something else bad has happened, but a former planet is now broken into small pieces, floating through space. If this trope is used as a setting, these pieces will usually have settlements of some sort on them (not to be confused with Asteroid Thickets, which are normally just obstacles). The question of why the pieces have not clumped back together by gravitational pull may or may not be addressed. Unlike a Floating Continent, a Shattered World isn't hovering over a planet. Often a case of Artistic License – Space, as any object that's large enough to be held together by its own gravity and form a planet is too large to be broken apart like this in the first place. If some world shattering event were to happen, you would not see the large, jagged chunks floating above the planet, as you might often see in fiction. At least, not for any length of time. The debris (excluding the bits ejected fast enough to escape entirely) would fall back onto the planet, which would also re-collapse back into a sphere, rather than remaining a shattered and broken world. If the pieces are somehow hovering in an atmosphere with gravity, that's World in the Sky. See also World Sundering for events that shatter and rearrange a world's geography, without necessarily breaking apart its globe (or disc, or ring, or whatever else) itself. |

Wizard101: The Great Spiral is one of these held in a spiral. Each island rock or rock cluster is called a world with a unique theme and races. Transport between the worlds of the spiral happens through Cool Gates. It was created when the grandfather tree using the pieces the first world that was shattered by a war between the three great races. The same Spiral is also the setting of its sister game Pirate101. Here inter-world transport isn't through stylized doors. Pirates instead use giant sky whirlpools. |

Wonder Woman (1942): Mt. Surana is a mountain that was blasted off of its home planet and into space by an explosion created by Brutex. He also blew the adjoining valley into space as a separate chunk, and both moorless landmasses are still populated by the people who were on them when the explosion took place. | |

Based off of the opening sequence in The Jetsons, it can be implied that before the series began, the Earth exploded, leaving a large number of chunks of rock on which the buildings were built on. It's terrifying if you think about it, really. (1960s episodes showed that the Earth was actually in one piece and full of lush green grass and hills, but the 1980s episodes portrayed the planet as an uninhabitable wasteland as part of a Green Aesop.) | |

Myst IV: Revelation: The Age of Spire. According to the supplemental materials, it was a planet whose magnetic core became unstable, which repelled large chunks of metal (and lots of attached rock) right out of the planet. Enough time has gone by that the collective gravitational attraction of the chunks towards the center has reached equilibrium with the magnetic repulsion, long enough that the giant floating fragments have enough gravity to have an atmosphere and even some flora. | |

In the Season 5 premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., after the agents are propelled into the future by a Kree monolith, a late-episode glimpse out a porthole reveals that Earth has been reduced to this. Though what happened and who was responsible have been lost to history under Kree occupation, local fixer Deke believes that Daisy, AKA Quake, Destroyer of Worlds, is the one at fault. | |

World of Warcraft: Outland, the remains of the planet Draenor shattered by demonic energies, is the main setting for the first expansion. The main continent and a few outlying "islands" remain floating in the Twisting Nether. The Shattering in Cataclysm nearly reduced Azeroth to this. Only timely intervention by the Earthen Ring prevented complete devastation. Argus in Legion is partway to this trope, as entire fragments have either been pulled free or sunken into the surface due to the Legion's strip mining. Eredath, its former capital, now floats high above the rest of the surface. Many Legion outposts are nothing more than blasted rock floating in the Twisting Nether. |

Macross: Macross 7 has a Protodeviln suffer a Superpower Meltdown on planet Lux, which causes roughly half the planet's mass to disappear entirely. The remainder of the planet swiftly shatters and crumbles. Macross Frontier shows one such world being made - with a bomb that warps a significant portion of the planet into fold space. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Dragon Magazine #160 has an article describing how to model exotic world shapes, including wedge-shaped chunks created when two planets collide and break apart and which retained enough dense core matter to stabilize themselves in space. Their gravity pulls towards their former cores, leaving their upper surfaces habitable as long as some means to keep the atmosphere from spilling out (such as mountains, walls, or a deep rift or crater) is present. Mystara: One high-level adventure brings the heroes to what's left of Old Alphatia, a planet destroyed by feuding wizards two thousand years ago. As these same wizards had previously enveloped their entire solar system with breathable air, some of the orbiting shards of their world are found to still be populated. Planescape: The astral plane has debris from countless worlds drifting in it, including some corpses of dead gods large enough, in some cases, to build fortresses on. Ravenloft: Zig-zagged — the Demiplane consist of many drifting chunks of the landscape, but these were never connected to one another and were instead torn from many independent worlds. Spelljammer: Some air worlds, such as Coliar in Realmspace, are swarms of islands rotating in a common atmosphere without one big body "below". There is also the Astromundi Cluster, consisting of the asteroid leftovers of two collided planets. The Tears of Selûne over Toril are a downplayed case: the vast majority of Selûne, the moon, is in one piece, but a chunk of it was blown offnote by a dragon superweapon that missed its intended target and shattered into a myriad of smaller bodies, creating a trail following Selûne (hence the name Tears of Selûne) |

Steven Universe: In "It Could've Been Great", the heroes discover a hologram that reveals that this would've been the Earth's fate had the gem colony been finished: Earth's crust is segmented into pieces and/or suspended high above the exposed core and apparently drained of its mantle. It's plenty obvious in-universe that no native life on Earth would've survived this. When the Gem Homeworld is seen from a distance in "Legs From Here to Homeworld", it turns out to be cracked into at least three large chunks and several plumes of debris, all floating loosely together. It raises the question of just how far the Homeworld Gems went in stripping their planet of its resources. |

Star Trek: About a sixth of the Klingon-controlled moon Praxis is (sort of) intact, after the "incident" it suffered at the beginning of Star Trek VI. Star Trek Into Darkness: A shattered moon identical to Praxis is depicted in orbit of Qo'nos. Presumably, the Klingons studied the futuristic technology aboard the mining-ship Narada from the previous film, causing the mining accident to happen twenty years early. |

X: Rebirth: The Albion system, which first appeared in X3: Albion Prelude, has a rocky planet that has been shattered into a dozen massive fragments by unknown means. In the years after the collapse of the jumpgate network, the Plutarch Mining Corporation has built up an entire industrial sector in the space between the segments. The first ride through the Super Highway system towards it is pretty alarming due to the highway skimming mere kilometers away from a jagged edge of the planet. | |

Some Season 1 episodes brought us to Anaxes, a planet destroyed by an as-yet unexplained phenomena. The planet “later� appeared still in one piece in the final season of The Clone Wars, showing that its destruction was fairy recent. |

Eador has the titular once-whole world that was broken into many "shards" after the event known only as "The Cataclysm". The shards now drift in the Astral Plane, where they occasionally merge between each other, break apart, vanish completely only to reappear later sometimes, get consumed by Chaos or are forcefully included into bigger "worlds" that are ruled by immortal beings commonly known as the Astral Masters. | |

Outer Wilds has two: Brittle Hollow and Dark Bramble. Brittle Hollow has a miniature black hole at its core, into which huge pieces of the planet's crust break off and fall continuously throughout the game. At some time in the past, a seed of an invasive space-warping plant embedded itself in Dark Bramble; by the time of the game's events, the plant has grown and shattered the planet from the inside. A seed from that plant has also landed on the protagonist's home world of Timber Hearth, which means it might go the same way in the future. That is, if not for the sun going supernova 22 minutes into the game. | |

Jedi Academy Trilogy: Anoth was shattered by some cataclysm in the ancient past, leaving it as three distinct chunks that remain in each other's vicinity due to their gravitational pulls. Two fragments are close together to share an atmosphere, which is wracked by constant storms as the fragments scrape together and generate immense static discharges. The third is further off and a little more stable, enough so as to be able to host a small, compact outpost. | |

The Tears of Selûne over Toril are a downplayed case: the vast majority of Selûne, the moon, is in one piece, but a chunk of it was blown offnote by a dragon superweapon that missed its intended target and shattered into a myriad of smaller bodies, creating a trail following Selûne (hence the name Tears of Selûne) | |

AMID EVIL has the Arcane Expanse. Formerly a world of powerful mages, it was torn apart by said mages' experiments in manipulating space and gravity. Now, the pieces of the world float aimlessly in a nebula and various dimensions that the mages created. The corrupted survivors dwell in various temples built on the ruins of their world. | |

Stellaris: You usually find worlds like this in systems with black holes or signs of Precursor activity, or in rare cases you can make your own. Two types of Fallen Empires may spawn with broken planets in their home systems. The Holy Guardians have "The Mistake," a planet with a huge chunk blown out of it, revealing a glowing core. The Enigmatic Observers have a home system with a family theme, so their homeworld of "Cradle" orbits a gas giant called "Sky Father" along with its fellow moons "Mother" and "Brother," but "Sister" has been ruined forever by some disaster. You can also create some yourself if the Contingency shows up as your endgame crisis. Defeating it requires destroying its five Machine Worlds with Orbital Bombardment, and since these worlds are jam-packed with Killer Robot factories down to the very core, all that remains when the guns fall silent is identical to The Mistake mentioned above. Three Origins include a shattered world. In the Shattered Ring The Interloper was a rogue planet that shattered when it collided with and destroyed one of your ring world's segments. In Void Dwellers your capital habitat hovers over The Fragments, presumably the remains of your homeworld. In Doomsday your homeworld detonates about 40 years into the game leaving a broken world behind. The Voidspawn and Ether Dragon Hatchling both incubate inside worlds that fracture when the creature is born. Finally, the Apocalypse DLC allows you to build a good old-fashioned planet-cracker to reduce a world to a clump of debris. You can use it to utterly obliterate your enemies, or blow apart uninhabitable worlds so you can build mining stations in their remains. |

Digimon Frontier: The Digital World has had large chunks taken out of it by Digimon that were corrupted by Cherubimon, though the pieces that are still intact remain where they were. The Royal Knights arc sees the remaining areas destroyed until the Digital World is just so many floating bits of ground with railroad tracks running between them. | |

Aion: The Tower of Eternity: The war between the demonic Balaur and the holy Empyrean Lords destroyed the titular Tower of Eternity and split the planet of Atreia into halves — the dark upper half became the home of those who would become the shadowy Asmodians, while the brightly lit lower half is the realm of the radiant Elyos. | |

Vexx was set on an exploded planet, various parts of which are scattered across the sky, with each level being a different one. There is a definite downwards direction, with it being possible (and infuriatingly easy) to fall off the edge. | |

Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords: Malachor V. The reason it became this way was due to Mandalorian Wars, where the Jedi Exile was ultimately left with no other option but to authorize the use of an extremely-dangerous superweapon onto the planet, thus ending the war once and for all. Peragus in the same game may be a partial example as it has a large chunk blown out due to a mining accident. The first level of the games takes place in a mining facility built within a large asteroid in orbit around the planet. |

Battleborn: The planet Ekkunar, homeworld of the Eldrid. Some cataclysm fractured the planet several thousand years ago. While still basically spherical, huge geological chunks of the planet are separated from one another, exposing the molten core of Ekkunar. The brightest scientists in the remaining universe are still trying to ascertain why the planet hasn’t flown apart or settled back in on itself. The best guesses still fall back to near mysticism, citing the universe-law-bending Varelsi or some arcane machinery of Ekkuni Dwarves. | |

Mass Effect: Andromeda: H-047c, one of the Andromeda Initiative's "golden worlds" (and the only one they could determine was turian-amino acid friendly), thanks to the local Negative Space Wedgie messing with the mass of some local stellar debris, causing it to slam into the planet with much more force than it otherwise would have. End result, all that's left of the planet is a planet-sized collection of completely dead rock, only good for insane mercenaries looking for a mining opportunity. When Ryder goes on it, the logical result of it being completely dead is made apparent — if Ryder steps outside the protection of the Nomad or some pre-prepared barriers, the sheer amount of radiation will kill them in minutes. At least one other gas giant has a ring system created this way, and it is heavily implied that the asteroid thickets found throughout the cluster were created when Earth-sized or larger planets were destroyed the same way H-047c was. | |
