Okay, it's a junta after it takes power, but what's it called while still in the plotting stage?

Looking for a single word for a group plotting some anti-government act, perhaps a takeover by force.

Eh, just timing. After a glance at the mini-thesaurus I keep at work, the following words pop out: resistance, rebellion, mutiny. Ladies sewing circle & terrorist society?

Heh. That last one sounds very _Moon is a Harsh Mistress_-esque. :-)

Some good suggestions. I think I'll have to let what people have sent and what I've found on my own sit and perk for a while before I decide what to actually use.

The novel is about the first interstellar colony, created by a group who are so fed up with having their lives regimented and restricted by a bureaucracy with no outside oversight that they plan to leave Earth. Others are helping without planning to go themselves, in the hopes that this will shake things up back home.
