Rogue planet

  • View history

A rogue planet was a planet that had broken out of its orbit around a star . However, such a planet may still be capable of supporting life due to geologic activities on it, such as 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 .

Founders' homeworld, 2371

The Founders' homeworld , a rogue planet inside a nebula

The Founders' homeworld in the Omarion Nebula in the Gamma Quadrant was an example of such a planet. ( DS9 : " The Search, Part I ", " The Search, Part II ", " The Die is Cast ")

Dakala

Dakala , a rogue planet in interstellar space

In 2151 , Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of Enterprise NX-01 discovered a rogue planet named Dakala that was used as a hunting ground by the Eska , whose people had come to the planet for nine generations to kill the indigenous species. Using sensing cloaks which prevented them from being detected, the Eska were able to successfully track down their prey. Their main prey was a sentient species of telepathic shapeshifters , called wraiths by the hunters, who were being killed by the Eska for sport. ( ENT : " Rogue Planet ")

Vidiian rogue planet

A rogue planetoid

In 2371 , the USS Voyager discovered a rogue planetoid that they thought contained dilithium deposits. In reality, however, it was being used by the Vidiians as an organ lab . ( VOY : " Phage ")

By 2373 , Q had taught his son how to knock small planets out of orbit. ( VOY : " The Q and the Grey ")

In 2381 , the USS Cerritos detected a Crystalline Entity that was in the process of consuming a rogue planet. ( LD : " I, Excretus ")
