Does anyone know how the reapers were planning to arrive in, well, Arrival? Were they coming through the relay or just entering that system manually?
Just in the former it means they either have another relay in darkspace or can pull themselves at active relays somehow (presumably the citadel has longer range)
In the latter I wonder why it took six months more travel before they reached another relay.
They were going to enter the Bahak system manually and use the Alpha Relay as a way to get to every other system in the Galaxy. A quote from the Mass Effect wiki:
"Alpha usually sends and receives mass at the range of a normal secondary relay, but if certain controls are adjusted, it becomes powered by an unprecedented amount of dark energy that could send cargo to sixteen other relays and even across a great distance to the Citadel. The Batarian Hegemony has long been aware of Alpha's capabilities, but has covered them up to avoid retaliation by other races who would view the relay as a direct threat to their territories."
And it most likely took them 6 months to reach another Relay because of distance. Even by travelling at FTL speeds, it would take a LONG time to fly manually to a different system.
