Mojave Outpost Headquarters

The Mojave Outpost headquarters is an unmarked location in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. It is one of two buildings that can be entered at the Mojave Outpost.

Background
Established before the Great War, the highway checkpoint served travelers entering the long stretch of I-15. It lay abandoned for over a century after the war, eventually occupied by the New California Republic. Ranger Jackson is in command of the installation.

The headquarters building acts as the NCR's administrative hub and command center for the southeastern Mojave, responsible for protecting the stretch of the I-15 south of Primm and Highway 95 up through the area protected by Camp Searchlight.

Recently, the NCR's forces have been spread thin, allowing threats to take over the highway below, causing caravans to slowly back up at the outpost waiting for the roads to clear or their clearance papers to come through. The officers at the HQ handle administrative duties of logging and compiling this outpost traffic data.

Layout
The barracks building is located directly next to the headquarters building, with a picnic area in the back. The roadway in front of the building is part of what was once the highway checkpoint station. The northern end of the valley is overshadowed by the Unification Monument and the southern is enclosed by rock walls. There is a fence enclosing the two buildings on all sides and several piles of sandbags for defense. The gate to the southwest leads farther down the Long 15. Two satellite dishes stand on the roof, one on the headquarters and one on the barracks, pointing west.

Upon entering the headquarters of the building for the first time, the Courier will be greeted by Major Knight, who runs the front desk of this office, and can provide more detailed information about the region and current state of affairs and can repair items to 100% in addition to his possible role in the My Kind of Town questline. Ranger Jackson can usually be found in one of the building's rear rooms. He offers the Can You Find it in Your Heart? quest in addition to figuring in Heartache by the Number.

Bugs

 * NCR troopers sometimes perform as though they are typing on a typewriter/computer while seated in the headquarters even though there is no keyboard present.
 * Sometimes NPCs will be walking in place or standing on top of desks in the HQ. Leaving and returning to the cell sometimes solves this problem.
