Not entirely true mankind's first empire. The Age of Strife came about as a result mankind's inability travel as a result of the increasing size of the warp storms appearing throughout their empire. This was a direct result of the Eldar's souls becoming more and more restless as Slaanesh was coming into form. If the Eldar did prevent the Fall at the last moment, one could have it so that they did so before M25, when the Age of Strife began. Of course, this is just a suggestion.
