[Star Wars] If the Rebel forces walked (flew) into a trap at the second Death Star, wouldn't the rest of the Star Destroyers been able to clean up even after the destruction of the Death Star? What happened to all of the rest of The Empire's ships?

After the destruction of the DS2 many officers and admirals fled to their worlds and took control of them. The Empire quickly fell to feudal-like infighting while the New Republic began to mop them up.

The thing about massive Empires founded by a single man is that they don't tend to last long, especially when that creator assumed he would never die and didn't have a proper heir.
