I imagine the planets being habitable with an oppressive upper elite class on the comfy sun facing side and a huge militarized zone separating the front and back. And poor gollum-like "shadow people" working class dwelling on the dark side.
Sounds like an excellent idea to me. If it helps to understand why, consider that white dwarves like Trappist-1 are notorious for their copious x ray emissions...
