When the Western Roman Empire fell, what remained was the EASTERN Roman Empire, which lasted for another 1000 years. What was left in the east paid lips-service to the Roman empire (sometimes even calling themselves Roman, like the Holy Roman Empire). Rolmulans replacing the Romulan Empire is very realistic. Much the of the population/planets/etc remained. They lost none of their technology.
That makes great sense as well. To keep beating the Roman analogy to death, the Eastern Roman Empire did clash with the remains of the Western empire, trying to take it back under the Roman umbrella (Justinian/Belisarius/etc). They sent armies all over Italy/Spain/Africa/etc trying to re-unify the old Empire. It didn’t work, since the new kingdoms that emerged didn’t want to be under the control of the far-off emperors. Once they split, there was no going back to unification.
