I'll give you the QRD of the specifics.
The Emperor is a corpse kept half alive on an archeotech psychic device that the current Imperials cannot even begin to understand. The primary function of the golden throne is to power a psychic beacon known as the Astronomicon. This is essentially a galaxy wide lighthouse that Navigators can see when Imperial ships fly through space-hell and is the only reliable way humans can travel Faster-Than-Light. If the Astronomicon falls, humans lose the ability to navigate the warp. It ends all FTL travel, thereby killing the Empire overnight. This almost guarantees humanities fall, and only a few pocket empires or chaos marauders would survive the next few centuries. Orks, Tyranids, Deldar, and Chaos invasions would occur uncountered and quadrillions would be butchered and devoured. At least half of imperial outposts rely on regular resupply to sustain themselves, and would die simply due to starvation or lack of fuel. It's not a matter of a mcguffin that kills everyone, its simple logistics in the end.
