Here's a question, not sure if it has been answered anywhere:

Do we know if Evelyn Buhallin continued to pilot a Loki after joining Clan Goliath Scorpion, and if so, did the Black Crusader keep her signature paint scheme?

Was she one of the pilots featured with the Dark Age mini's ? How did she come to be with the Scorpions ?

Also, another Falcon pilot too, she even had her own dossier card in Dark Age, was Ichiba Pryde, but unlike Jiyi, for example, she vanished from cannon

I have no idea if she's in any Dark Age material. I know her from the Jade Falcon phone book where she was described as a moderate Warden, but grief over losing so many friends at Tukayyid created a deep hatred for any and all Spheroids, earning the nickname "The Black Crusader".

I haven't cracked open the book recently, but I do know FM:WC puts her as captured by the Scorpions and having risen to command Tau Galaxy. I guess either she had an Ebenezer Scrooge turnaround at some point, or fanatical Crusader sentiments aren't actually a big hindrance in this Clan I know nothing else about her from memory or Sarna, but I feel safe in assuming that by the Dark Age, she's either dead or retired.

Scorpions offloaded what few Crusader leaning warriors they had to Wolves in exchange for goodies during Harvest Trials, she could have been there

Or she could have changed her mind, Scorpions were pretty insular so she would have had time and opportunity to mellow out

Oh really, I it's just the name seemed to ring a bell, from a Dark Age Loki I saw

I'm pretty sure he's referring to Eve Buhallin.

No I think they're referring to https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Evelyn_Buhallin#cite_note-FMWC116-3

Says she died in 3080, not sure how. Seems like she stayed in Scorpion land because it sounds like she's largely responsible for the tactics of Tau Galaxy. That explains the war crimes later at least lol

Edit: Looks like she died during the takeover of the Umayyad Caliphate, while taking their capital world.

That's exactly her, thanks!

Being a Star Colonel during REVIVAL and serving another thirty years after that, with much of it in a Clan hostile to her politics? Impressive.

From Battletech Universe we now finally have official names for all members of Seeker retinues (warrior/yeoman, artist/harbinger, technician/tinker, laborer/footman, scientist/sage, merchant/sutler, pet/familiar)

Also Scorpions and Jarnfolk have started being pals it seems since they have been taking on a lot of Jarnfolk navigators as Sages on expeditions through Deep Periphery

My guess is that Jarnfolk merchant ships started visiting Empire (and vice versa) for business or maybe even immigration as well which is how they started getting recruited

interesting that the Scorpions and Jarnfolk are becoming friends, but I get the idea of Seekers using Jarnfolk navigators on their trips.   They would know the "systems"

Does any what tech the empire does and doesn't have or do they have the same stuff as the IS Clans?

They have been manufacturing invasion era Clan technology since 3100

They started with light omnis like Snow Fox at the turn of the century and worked their way up to assault omnis like Warhawk prior to Hanseatic Crusade (3140)

Improved Heavy Lasers and Artemis V too but they were the ones who invented them in the first place

They've also been making all WoB tech as well for just as long (minus Frankenstein grade stuff, too disturbing)

From later eras fancy tech we know they now manufacture endo-composite chassis, reflective armor, plasma weapons and HAGs (mostly after the Crusade)

So far they don't seem to have the very latest tech like ballistic-reinforced armor, hardened armor, ferro-lammelor armor and re-engineered lasers

So they can produce Variable Speed Pulse Lasers, Small Cockpits, VDNI, Machina Domini and do have access to Manei Domini cyborg technologies?

Doubt it, more like stuff like Blakist mechs and Purifier Adaptive

Cybernetic implants have fallen out of favor with Scorpions once Protomechs were discontinued so no VDNI and MD (Frankenstein grade)
