Inside the synchronous orbit: it spiraled inward and was torn apart at the Roche limit (Phobos's fate).
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Cold and massive enough to hold its nitrogen and methane as a thick haze (Titan-like).
