Entering orbit…
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. Runaway tidal heating drives volcanism across a cold crust - lava lakes and sulfur plains between frozen plains
Volcanic outgassing - sulfur compounds and vaporized rock

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).
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
