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, 100/100).
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Cold and massive enough to hold its nitrogen and methane as a thick haze (Titan-like).
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Inside the synchronous orbit: it spiraled inward and was torn apart at the Roche limit (Phobos's fate).
