As used in canon:

   pa' 'oHtaH vaS'a''e'.  tlhIngan qum waw' 'oH.
   This is where the Klingon Great Hall is located,
   the center of the Klingon government. S27

Cf. {'ejyo'waw'} "star base, starbase".  Cf. also {raQ} "camp" and {mID} 
"colony".

{waw'} and/or {mID} may be the best translation for "outpost".  Klingons 
have several (no doubt armed) outposts:  e.g. Maranga IV, Khitomer, 
Narendra III.
