sure, there are holes big enough to steer Emperor class ship through, but
that is the challenge for us: to get (at least somewhat) consistent
background. I know the idea of Imperial & Eldar tech standing still is
pretty ridiculous even considering the superstitious mumbo-jumbo, but we can
say it has advanced VERY slowly.

For a couple of reasons:
1) The Imperium is at war along all of its borders. They pretty much consume
everything they can build. They ARE expanding, but slowly.
2) Astronomican has a limited range, and beyond that the warp travel becomes
difficult and cosiderably slower.

Absolutely.
