Supernatural Threat Analysis Bureau

The Supernatural Threat Analysis Bureau, or STAB, is a secret arm of the American government founded to combat and study supernatural forces. Its operatives will often act as if they are a part of the FBI or CIA, and many of them genuinely believe that they work for either of these organizations.

Branches of STAB

 * The Lonely Hearts: The real name of this branch is classified and was nicknamed after the Beatles song "The Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." This branch first appeared in Still Remains Within.
 * SMSC: Stands for Special Monitoring and Study Commission, though it probably comes from the David Bowie song Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). This branch first appeared in Brighter than a spoon.
 * TMBG: Stands for Transcontinental Mobile Brigade, though it is a clear backronym from They Might Be Giants. This branch has yet to appear.
