Question: are these 2K long ships capable of Warp travel? If they are, then what has stopped them from being in contact with the larger universe? If they are not Warp-capable, how are the systems staying in touch with one another?

Yes. Simply no desire to do so, the government knows contacting other races or the Imperium would kill them all, so they have orders not to.
They have quantum-entanglement communication devices the size of a small room. Only useful on a planet in a specialized facility (any disturbance ruins the entanglement) or on large starships.
