Can someone explain to me what each Faction's blazon represents?

As far as I know, this is the only established lore regarding the flag symbols: Ok, it has been bugging me for two months now, but what is that symbol on the top of the Clan Javat flag? It looks like a mathematical symbol above a J A V. I've tried looking for it through Wikpedia but I can find nothing similar to it. Is it an engineering symbol or something made up? Also, what is the Steel Song Clan symbol supposed to represent? I have imagined it to be a seashell, a steel coin, or possibly a gear; but I have no solid idea. Do the different Factions have nicknames for themselves and each other? that is the astrological symbol of Libra. The star's edge introduction originally states that the sector of space is "beyond the constellations of Libra" which is the reason that I used that symbol. It looks cool and unlike Scorpio, doesn't appear to be a letter but is a symbol pure (like the astrological symbol which is the only one not representing an animal, person or insect.) The Steel Song flag is a chakra wheel, a reference to there belief in the etherial spirit of man, and the cycle of rebirth. Steel Song Assassins are not killing anyone -- they're giving them a chance to be reincarnated in better lives -- Steel Song lives, if they're pure enough. haven't gotten so far to come up with Faction specific slurs against other factions, but that's a clever idea and something that would happen for sure =) |

Don't read too much into flags, I think. I do see a red lion on one of them  Would be interesting to hear what people say. But, as the co-creator of these, I don't think that there is a deep symbolic meaning behind each or something. Clan Moklumnue originated from a trinary system, and so -- 3 yellow dots. |

I'd guessed, about the three suns for Moklumnue. But what about the two vertical lines?
(I'd been wondering about the flags before; today I inquired because I've started thinking of a motto for each Faction.)

You can sort of... Place a meaning to them yourself in a way.
Except Thulun. Their flag is just pretty. That's all Thulun cares about.
"No no no no... You can't put that, it looks ugly."
"What? But it can symbolize-"
"No. Put this red thing here, it makes it look good."
"What does it mean?"
"Doesn't matter. It looks good."
