Dead Orbit Faction Speculation

I haven't abandoned my theory yet that each faction is tied, somehow, to a planet or body in-game. Like they're headquartered or particularly involved with the happenings on that planet.

My only basis for this theory are the names of the factions, and how they can seem to suggest a relation with a particular planet in the Destiny world:

Dead Orbit - either Mercury or the Moon. Both are barren, and both can relate to the gray color scheme of the Dead Orbit logo

Future War Cult - Mars

New Monarchy - Jupiter (or, from what we've heard, Jupiter's moon Europa)

Osiris - dunno. The logo has kind of a Sun theme, so maybe Mercury

Seven Seraphs - no idea

I still have a couple of problems with this theory though:

1. You'd think Mars' faction would be red-themed, like New Monarchy, instead of blue-themed like FWC

2. There are only 5 factions (we know about) but 6 non-Sun bodies in the game (going by the ARG symbols)
