Even if the lead researcher is dead, it's still immortality. Everyone would be interested in learning all they can. I know the writers will probably try to pretend the immortality technology doesn't exist anymore, but logically it would be the Empire's greatest asset. Who would care about Black Rose if you had immortal leaders?
