>They can be wondering between solar systems or even galaxies, sometimes at incredible speeds if say they had a narrow escape from a black hole. And should one pass through or even just close enough to our solar system it would make a very handy space ship! If course we would have to be ready to go hop on as it passed, and you don't get to choose where you go.
Alert Hollywood. I HAVE A SCRIPT!
It's kind of like the little watched "Space 1999", but with modern special effects and a whole world to work with vs just a moon base, I think we've potential.

It has been in a book or two, but that is no reason to stop now!

Dark Eden https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Eden_(novel) was a fun read, one of the random ones I've borrowed from the library, it's not that heavy on the sci fi unfortunately it's more a human book about the highly inbred descendants of a crew that crashed on a rogue planet, but the author does a fair job of describing his idea of a frozen planet with pockets of geothermal heat that is channeled through the trunks of giant trees and various life forms most of which are bioluminescent in some way, pretty cool read actually I did enjoy it.
That's the only one I can personally remember reading specifically about rogue planets but Wikipedia has a page im gonna bookmark https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rogue_planets_in_fiction
