Usually found in a star's biozone. Over 95% covered by water and water ice. They usually have atmospheres that contain oxygen and nitrogen. Life forms are typically abundant. If water covers less than 95% of the surface, then they are considered class M or Garden worlds. The possible ecosystems on these planets are often evolutionarily stuck due to the total lack of any freestanding continents.

They are also known as "Pelagic" planets or Water worlds.
