800 years doesn’t seem like a lot of time to recover… humanity wasn’t stone aged, but an overwhelming majority of its worlds could have been. And stuff happens slower on an interstellar scale (time delay of jump, trillions of pops, drastically different cultures, species even)
For a real world example, the Western Roman empire collapsed in ~400 and the Italian peninsula stayed warring states for 1400 years…and 1600 years later the continent is only just beginning to reunify.
