Star and planets drawn to scale (a typical star of its class), with only the star's edge in view. Orbits spaced as in the star system view.
Planet, moons and orbits drawn to one scale; the smallest moons are enlarged so they can be seen.
Surface. No surface: a cooling failed star, its methane atmosphere absorbing so much red light it would look magenta to the eye
Hydrogen and helium dominated by methane absorption, with water clouds below

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 heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 68/100).
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
