- Ocean planets can be formed when an ice-covered planet migrates inwards in its stellar system, with the ice melting as the planet gets closer to its star. The oceans on such planets could be hundreds of kilometers deep, much deeper than the oceans of Earth. The immense pressures in the lower regions of these oceans could lead to the formation of a mantle of exotic forms of ice. This ice would not necessarily be as cold as we understand ice. If the planet is close enough to its sun that the water's temperature reaches the boiling point, the water will become supercritical and lack a well-defined surface.
- Samus Aran, Joey Apronika and Diesel come to this planet to investigate suspicious events. Their suspicions are confirmed when Joey and Diesel, in their excitement, nearly jump into the acidic ocean. In town, Samus learns that the acidity of the water is the result of a "Sea Demon" falling into it. Returning to the beach, Samus is confronted by Defen, the final boss of the Deadly Six Stars, who she assumes to be the sea demon. He throws Joey and Diesel into the acid, provoking Samus into diving in.

| - Ocean planets can be formed when an ice-covered planet migrates inwards in its stellar system, with the ice melting as the planet gets closer to its star. The oceans on such planets could be hundreds of kilometers deep, much deeper than the oceans of Earth. The immense pressures in the lower regions of these oceans could lead to the formation of a mantle of exotic forms of ice. This ice would not necessarily be as cold as we understand ice. If the planet is close enough to its sun that the water's temperature reaches the boiling point, the water will become supercritical and lack a well-defined surface. Alternatively, there might be ocean worlds whose ocean is not made out of water, but of another liquid such as ammonia or methane. Extremely hot planets might have molten metal and magma covering their surface. The (fictional) planet Solaris is perhaps the most unusual example of an ocean planet: its ocean is a living, sentient entity made of some kind of organic matrix. The (also fictional) astronomical object known as "The Waters" cannot be considered an ocean planet, as it is completely made of water, having no solid structure beneath. How this object is able to hold a spheric shape is still unknown. The planet Venus was once considered a possible ocean world, until it was discovered that its surface temperature exceeds 460 °C (860 °F).

Ocean Worlds often produce hardy peoples superbly adapted to combat in marine environments and so become prime recruiting grounds for the Imperial Guard when it needs regiments for amphibious or underwater operations.
- Samus Aran, Joey Apronika and Diesel come to this planet to investigate suspicious events. Their suspicions are confirmed when Joey and Diesel, in their excitement, nearly jump into the acidic ocean. In town, Samus learns that the acidity of the water is the result of a "Sea Demon" falling into it. Returning to the beach, Samus is confronted by Defen, the final boss of the Deadly Six Stars, who she assumes to be the sea demon. He throws Joey and Diesel into the acid, provoking Samus into diving in. He attacks Samus underwater using Rastodon, the true sea demon, and severely damages her Power Suit. Falling to the ocean floor, Samus triggers a dormant volcano into erupting, which kills Defen and Rastodon. With Rastodon's death, the townsfolk state that the ocean will eventually return to normal.
