The core players played frequently together on Rocket Blast public servers. Officially the team was created by [[hurr]] in 2010, when colony took on the 6v6 team [[broder]] in a [http://www.onlinegamer.se/2010/05/broder-mot-colony-har-kan-ni-kolla-pa-matchen/ showmatch] to raise awareness for the new highlander format that was going to start in ETF2L.

Although colony was placed consistently in the highest divisions, their dominating performances diminished after the HCC. Other teams were catching up and the games required more effort from the pubstackers.

After season 2, [[MrLate]] was called upon for conscription for the Finnish army. For season 3 [[MindYe]] took over and after that the only French player to play for colony [[Phunk]] was put behind the scope.
 
 
The team took a huge hit when one of the core players [[J0rmund]], who was with the team for a long time had to quit due to being too "lifey". Luckily [[nappr]] showed up and was able to carry the torch from there on.

==Rivalry==

Since it's beginning, [[colony]] had a rivalry with [[SNSD]]. This began during the HCC, where they were facing against each other in the [http://etf2l.org/matches/24655/ grand finals]. colony took the first map, but SNSD turned out to have done their homework and won the other two maps.
 
−
Even though they were able to take maps from SNSD, colony would never win an official match from them.
