The word "corpus" (pronounced with a hard "c" like "korpus") literally means "body" in Latin, and often refers to a collection of written information (as in "a body of work") and also appears in the well-known legal writ called "habeas corpus" ("may you have the body") which requries a person under arrest be brought before the court or judge. Not sure what "Corpus" as a term has to do with the faction, but there you go.
