After figuring out the habitable zones of different stars, Delse's star, Paradene, could be upped to a class M7 or M8 to explain the increased temperatures of the day. It would suffer from tidal heating, because of this. Tidal stresses would also cause the formation of a lot of volcanoes. So it would look like this:


 * Uninhabitable equatorial band.


 * Rocky, sandy desert in temperate areas


 * Water-ice at the poles.


 * Volcanoes scattered around entire planet.  Lots of patches of volcanic rock.


 * Sand-sea would be significantly smaller (around 20% of surface).  Tralvis Ocean would be at one of the poles.
