A/N this is just an idea I came up with that I thought was a cool idea. So I hope you like it. This could go into a series if wanted.

Civilian/military refugee fleet codenamed 'The light of Rhea';
2 years after the Cylon war;
Leonis upper orbit;
Battlestar Rhea;
CIC;
The doors to the CIC opened and from it steps out, Rear Admiral Waylon Pierce, a renowned Leonis-born admiral that, with the help of his mismatched fleet and crew, were able to save hundreds of thousands of military and civilian personnel from all over the colonies with his ship, the Jupiter class Battlestar Rhea, one of the first Jupiter class Battlestar's to be launched. It was modified by the admiral during the war to include more weapon emplacements and heavier and thicker armor than the prototype Mercury class that is undergoing testing in the Helios Alpha system.
The Rhea, along with its sister ship, the Ra, along with a fleet of 2 Minerva class Battlestar's-the Fate and the Fortune-, 3 Artemis class Battlestar's-the Emperor, the Empress, and the Knight-,3 Armageddon class escort- Battlestar's-Ragnarok, Asgard, and Thor-, 5 Ranger class missile cruiser's-The Trinity, the Fulcrum, the Ranger, the Danger, and the Charger-, 4 Atlas class heavy assault carriers-Atlas, Corvus, Virgon, Leonis-, 3 Janus class heavy cruiser's-Valiant, Reliant, and Defiant-, and finally 20 Manticore class corvettes from various squadrons, in fact, most of these ships in the fleet were ships from different units that have immense respect and loyalty to the Admiral and the Admiral alone.
Along with these ships was a large fleet of civilian ships of various classes. Cargo vessels, fuel tankers, cruise ships, and other vessels.
Altogether, there were some 2 million people in the fleet as this was most populated refugee fleet in the colonies.
All these people where from all over the colonies, from Caprica to Leonis, and Picon to Scorpio. All were saved by the admiral...but...they were still here, in space, where they should be on their respective planets by now as the planets had been repaired enough for them to at least move into refugee camps on the colonies surfaces.
The Admiral was soon brought out of his thoughts by the Communications specialist signaling him over. 24 year old, Randy Jones, or R.J as she likes to call herself, was the Coms officer of the destroyed battlestar Theseus, that was destroyed in one of the last battles of the war, where she was rescued from her escape pod. She was fitting into her role as coms of the Rhea nicely.
When he walked over he noticed she looked somewhere between shocked, sad, and more so, angry all the while looking at the communication packet in their hands. She looked up and when she saw him she handed it over shakily.
He grabbed it and began to read, but the more he read, the more angry he got;
Dear Rear admiral Waylon Pierce,
This letter is our way of saying thank you for your service in the colonial fleet. This is also a letter containing the subject of what to do with the 'light of Rhea' refugee fleet. Here is what's going to happen to the fleet:
~All ships are to be taken to the virgon fleet scrapyard for disassembly of all vessels. Effective immediately.
~ All colonial fleet personnel in the fleet are to be either laid off, or, be transferred to other ships. Effective immediately.
~All civiliansare to be taken to caprica to be taken for 'Re-education' to new colonial (AKA Caprican standards) Effective immediately.
Sincerely the president of the 'United' colonial government Richard Adar.
As he finished reading the paper he leaned over and said
"R.J...fleetwide."
"...yes sir...your on"
"Attention all personnel, both fleet and Civilian. I'm here to inform you that, effective immediately we are to leave for caprica for 're-education' by those caprican dogs. But I'm not going to do that. I saved you all from the cylon dogs. Now we must do it again to save our homeworlds. For now..we must leave to establish a base of operations from where we can strike back at those Caprican dogs. All ships, prepare to jump to the Karajan system."
"Captain Randy, send this message to Picon fleet headquarters, for Admirals Corman, Kronus, and Nagala only, priority Alpha. Then you are to send it to Milcove headquarters, the Graystone manor on Tauron, and the governors and military leaders of Leonis, Virgon, and Picon the message is 'The gods have Failed, we must now finish, what they started'"
"Right away sir!"
He turns around and says
"The rest of you, be ready for anything."
3rd POV;
Orbit of Leonis;
As one large entity, the 'Light of Rhea' refugee fleet engaged the jump drives and disappeared off the face of colonial scanners, all the while major people in the military and government were notified of what happened and began to prepare accordingly.
The future of the colonies now depends on Rear Admiral Waylon Pierce and others that shall change the fate of the colonies for centuries to come.
