Some of these planets are ejected by their parent star when they are forming star systems.

Well of all the crazy places to look for worlds !
Maybe they should put away the telescopes and look for new worlds with super microscopes
Little tiny worlds would sure be cheaper / easier to reach

Kind of too far to get to another star. But, maybe one of these babes is near by?
Then we could create a colony there. But, only if Newt is elected.

I believe hat story is about planets ejected from the Milky Way. These are planets that are within the interstellar medium wandering in the Milky Way

And just what sort of life might thrive in icy cold darkness in an inter stellar void? Nothing I’d want to snuggle-up to, that’s for sure!

Actually one of my favorite end of the world scenarios is a rogue giant planet getting pulled into our solar system and changing the earth's orbit. The other thing that interested me is that with various large objects between the systems, a Star Trek like warp speed flight would sound more like a big splat after a few minutes.

Actually its for real, but its a star, not a planet, and its name is Wormwood. Read Revelation. Its due in a few years.

If the rogue planet has a warm and active interior, you might have a planet like the moon Europa. There is an ice crust then on the inside of the planet an ocean.

Europa’s interior is a result of tidal compression/decompression from Jupiter’s influence. It would otherwise be as dead as the Moon with extra water-ice.

You are absolutely correct. But its interesting to note, that Jupiter's Galilean system of moons looks like a mini-Solar System.
