That's exactly what I mean, the localized pulse is the most important thing, if it doesn't destroy the relays then it still destroys all reapers within the sol system. The most important part; the reapers do not have nearly as much bulk in the rest of the galaxy, the majority of their forces are concentrated in sol. After the death of all the reapers within sol taking the others down is just a matter of time, however the defeat; i feel is inevitable at this point. Taking sol would be a major victory for the fleets, and would really raise morale. Suddenly the entire galaxy realizes that united they can take down the reapers.
