-The Nine are survivors of the cis-Jovian colonies who made a compact with an alien force to ensure their own survival.

I'm guessing since it's "cis-Jovian", it is on Jupiter. Maybe some Humans, Awoken and Exos are surviving out there in the darkness, somehow...What the alien force could be, I dunno. Maybe the same species as whatever Xûr is?

-The Nine are deep-orbit warminds who weathered the Collapse in hardened stealth platforms.

This is interesting. If this true, then Rasputin is not the only Warmind still active, and more Warminds survived than we thought. Golden Age tech was highly advanced, maybe these Warminds are hiding somewhere in the outer planets.

-The Nine are ancient leviathan intelligences from the seas of Europa or the hydrocarbon pits of Titan.

Leviathan intelligences...Sounds like these things are of Vex origin. They do have systems on every planet, so them being Vex machines are not out of the question.

-The Nine arrived in a mysterious transmission from the direction of the Corona-Borealis supercluster.

This must mean something is trying to contact the Nine or us, and if they want contact, they must be curious of what's out there...Or, they need our help.

The Nine are the firstborn Awoken and their minds now race down the field lines of the Jupiter-Io flux tube.

-Awoken do transcend beyond light and dark...So, some Awoken minds are part of the Nine.

The Nine are Ghosts who pierced the Deep Black without a ship and meditated on the hissing silence of the heliopause.

-Ghosts? Well, what caused them to go beyond the Deep Black? What drove them to the decision? Mysterious.

The Nine are the aspects of the Darkness, broken by the Traveler's rebuke, working to destroy us from within.

-Whatever this is, it seems like some of the Nine don't want to make contact with us. It really makes you wonder, why the Nine even want to make contact with us. Do they want to help? By sending Xûr, it seems likely.

-The Nine is a viral language of pure meaning.

Perhaps this language is spoken by the Nine? I don't really understand this one. It might even be a coding language...

-The Nine are the shadows left by the annihilation of a transcendent shape, burned into the weft of what is.

I'm going to need more time to think about this one.
