A planet of perpetual torrential downpour. Astartes train here for extreme weather conditions, like category 5 hurricanes, bowling ball sized hailstorms, and frequent flooding. During the post-flooding storm cycles, the Paladins hold their contests.

Why is this a Water World?
Your planet has abundant oxygen (32.8%) and hydrogen (39.8%), creating extensive water coverage while in the habitable temperature zone.
Water worlds have deep global oceans covering most or all of their surface. They form when planets have high water content and orbit in the habitable zone.
Inside the synchronous orbit: it spiraled inward and was torn apart at the Roche limit (Phobos's fate).

Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal flexing melts its interior: an actively volcanic surface (Io-like).

✓ Conditions could support lifeThis planet’s modelled conditions could support biological processes: stable temperatures, liquid water and the chemistry life as we know it needs. That makes life possible, not present.
