This is supposed to be about front organizations right (after all it is a Front Organization brings you here)? Well governments aren't the only ones who use them. Organized Crime often use front organizations for smuggling and money laundering. Also I don't think all front organizations take the appearance of a legal organization, it may take the form of an arms dealing crime syndicate can't it?

Hi
Calling crowner in favor of the rename to Covert Group with Mundane Front. Make it so.

Did the initial page move, but for the wicks, I need to know how to deal with "Cover Groups" in general (and a less sluggish connection)

I don't think we have a trope for cover groups in general. Perhaps collect the examples here, and we can see if there are enough for a YKTTW?
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
Did the remaining rename, but one question remains: What is the difference between Covert Group with Mundane Front and ordinary covert groups?

Gah, this is clunky. Covert Group, Mundane Front would be just the same but less clunky.

Most covert groups in fiction are so covert they don't have any front.
Made a YKTTW here
. The rename didn't offer any particularly good examples for this, so unless lu127 or anyone else wants to rename this to Covert Group Mundane Front with a comma I'll request lock, as the YKTTW hasn't really anything to do with this.
