Well, we have to go by what we see.  In all the shots of the Pegasus
and all references to the ship 'n Cain's command, there was no mention
(unless I missed something) of her commanding a "fleet", there was only
the Pegasus.

So, it appears that the Pegasus ran across a civilian ship here and
there, recruited the personel that they needed and either destroyed the
civilian ship (lest it fall into Cylon hands) or let it on its way.

It would be different if the Pegasus had incorperated a civilian
government, possibly with another member of the council onboard
(someone who would outrank the current President, now that would be
interesting).  But from all appearences (unless the next episode
introduces something new, like an old Perry Mason episode where the key
facts to solve the case do not appear until the last two minutes), the
Pegasus was NOT accompanied by a large (as in, several times the number
of the Pegasus crew) civilian presence.
