Dkala, a rogue planet

A rogue planet is a planet that has broken out of orbit around a star.

• Also called "interstellar"; "nomad"; "free-floating"; "orphan"; "wandering"

Rogue planets have planetary mass, no planetary system, and may form in similar ways to stars.

In some cases, a planet may still be capable of supporting life due to geologic activities on it

• Examples: hot gases venting from its interior, forming oases where lifeforms can thrive.

The lack of a sun causes rogue planets to exist in a state of perpetual night.

Fun Fact:

• The Founders' homeworld was a rogue planet inside a nebula
