[QUOTE=Dogchow33;34843712]Even if these planets are outside away from a star, the chances of life are second to none since life as we know it requires some sort of heat energy, and thus life cannot continue on this planet give that the life forms need heat to live.[/QUOTE] If we're going to enter the realm of assuming there is other life, we can also assume it doesn't require heat energy like we do, doesn't need to be so similar to us.

Life does require energy however. What could be a source of energy, unless they make their own food?

[QUOTE=Camundongo;34837732]One of these would make an awesome setting for sci-fi horror story.[/QUOTE] [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_Planet_(Star_Trek:_Enterprise)]I think it has already been done[/URL] Don't forget, the planet may have plenty of geothermal vents, that's how super-deep sea life survives.
Cool what if there s one close enough to send a probe too, like right out side out solar system.
That would be a badass spaceship if they could use controlled nuclear blast propulsion.

Damn gypsy planets.
