This is just a theory about how Exile has come to be and their relation to House of Judgement. What I'm about to explain does require some background knowledge on the Fallen race.
So we know that once The Traveler bestowed it's gift of the light to The Fallen (Eliksni) at one point. All the houses coexisted and held roles in their community. Kings were the executive branch, Judgement the judicial, Devils the army, Wolves the spies and assassins, Stone the planetary defense, Winter the knowledge seekers and Inventors, Rain the prophetical, and Scar can be speculated to be made up of Veterans and injured high ranking members of previous Houses; almost seen as an Elder House. Then the Hive invaded their homeworld to destroy the Traveler and its light. The Eliksni fought back but we're defeated when The Traveler fled. With it Stone and Rain were decimated. The remaining houses fought with each other and separated. House was Judgement was uses as a scapegoat and was blamed for not being able to keep peace between the houses. So many were killed, docked, and imprisoned. The remaining either fled or joined new houses such as Variks.
But what of this new House? Exile, an anarchical sect of weak and unorganized Fallen. Those who hide where the other houses dare not touch them. Scurrying under the shadow of their original enemy. A disgrace to the Fallen. Where did they come from? What is their origin? I believe the answer can be found in Judgement's dissolve.
As we know Fallen do not have to claim a House. This is proven by example with Tanniks, The Scarred. Not all of Judgement was killed either, even though Variks is still the only one to claim to part of Judgement. So perhaps many Fallen that have fled from dead Houses like Scar, Rain, Stone, and Judgement were the founding members of Exile. A house bent on proving that they are a threat to all other houses. The House that would seem most fitting for that hatred would be Survivors of Judgement, since they were unfairly persecuted.
Exile also wears the color green. While Judgement's colors are green and gold. Not only does this seem to be a more obvious link, but it also displays some symbolism. The gold is lost when the are pushed down into a weak House. This symbolizes how those who belonged to Judgement lost their regality and right to be recognized as a legitimate house. This is all speculation, but I hope you can see where I am coming from with these ideas.
That is my thoughts on the House of Exile. If you are interested by any of this, and would like to hear more; I have a pretty strong theory on the House of Scar and their feud with the House of Winter.

I actually love this theory. The Fallen are some of the more fascinating factions in Destiny (for me anyway) and this fits pretty cleanly into what I've concluded about them. Very good job connecting the dots, I hope this proves true.
