I'm not Xho, buut...

Empire age tends to depend on a few factors. These include the average lifespan of a given species within the empire, the makeup of the culture (is the culture collectivist/defers to authority or are they more libertarian? How does the government justify its existence? Are they an open or closed society?), the stability of the political climate both within and without, and even the economy. All these can potentially modify the age of an empire-- Human governments (in both real life and here), for example, rarely last more than 300 years, and there are only a handful of governments that have existed for 1000.

Another thing is what you mean by Empire. If you mean an individual, discernable government, then the above applies. If, however, you mean the broader culture or civilization? Those can last thousands of years, and lack definite dates of founding or dissolution.

Hope this helps!
