Legate's Camp

The  is a place in the Mojave Wasteland.

The camp is east of the Hoover Dam, apparently only accessible by a door inside the lower offices of the dam, and only entered with a key given during the last section of the final questline.

It appears that the only way to enter the camp is during the final leg of the main quest. Other than that, the camp remains sealed off from the rest of the map. It is surrounded by cliffs and mountains on all sides, inaccessible from the north (The Fort), the east (off the map), south (mountains), and west (mountains/cliffs/river/Hoover Dam).

Layout
Once you enter the camp there are a few Praetorian Guards, one is standing right in front of the hill and two are in the small encampment to the left. Heading up the hill you will see Legate Lanius, approaching him will make him engage in conversation (if you have 100 speech you can persuade him to leave, this avoids a frankly unwinnable fight against him and 6 or so praetorian guards unaided by the securitrons). His blade is crazy powerful so if you are going to kill him the easiest way to do so would be a sneak attack and avoiding to talk to him. If you engage in combat trough conversation a lot of troops will spawn and make things difficult.

On top of the hill stands Legate's War Tent, it's locked from the inside so it's not possible to enter.

There are several machetes lying around there, also there is a Legionarie recruit armor in one locker near the Legate's Tent, and several recruit helmets in the other lockers in the courtyard.
