Ah... I had never looked at that closely. So what happens when a planet is created out of asteroids? Is it's number changed to go at the end of the planets in that system? And then vice versa, what happens to the number of the planet that gets smashed into asteroids?

I'm not sure about asteroids to planet, but planet to asteroids simply retains the same name. If the planet was Bryma I, the new asteroid field will be Bryma I.
