[star wars] aftermath of the clone wars

After rewatching episode 3 and the clone wars series, I'm left wondering about what happened to all the ships in space or orbit that didn't blow up. What happened to them did crews from either side take care of them or was it left to the planet below.

As is the case with most abandoned ships, pirates and smugglers will come in shortly afterwards to strip them of anything useable. Weapons and medkits first, especially medkits that contain bacta, then food and general supplies. More established pirates would probably transport the ship to a chop shop and have it dismantled for parts, but smaller pirating units will just take supplies and data.
