As I said, how big an empire is is often dictated by the technology it possesses. The Jum'Ari Empire is tier 4, which means that a thousand systems is already a lot to manage when it comes to logistics. Managing 43,000 while running on warp drive (which has a maximum speed of c x 10^9.9999999999(etc), which isn't that fast on a galactic scale) would be nearly impossible.
