German Borg, a name that is only a tradition (now that they're an international squad), were founded by Taudin and HF_Phoenix in the first quarter of 2000. They had the goal to give German players a chance to play together in the Allegiance Community, dominated by Americans. The German Borg were an AZ squad until the problems started (see History). Most of the players didn't want to pay for the AZ anymore due to all of the problems, and instead played on FZ. Many people left the squad and Dex_Solo became the new Squad Leader.
In April 2001, the Germany Borg merged with the German FZ squad Piranhas. They also started to sell Allegiance and promote Allegiance, selling around 50 versions of Allegiance to German players.
In terms of competition, GB was one of the longest lasting squads and always had a force to reckoned with, participating in AW3, and ranking second in the first Allegiance Tournament (won by Z fighters).
In February 2003, due to the player shortage, they became an international squad. The language for internal squad communication was switched from german to english and non german-speaking players were recruited.
Throughout its history, the German Borg organized four squad meetings and one Allegiance meeting:
- December 2001, Munich
- January 2002, Berlin
- September 2002, Nuremberg
- September 2003, Kassel
- September 2006, Stuttgart (AllegCon Germany)
The 'Borg continue were a strong squad within the community until 2010, and you found their members in the @Help team, as @AFS mentors, and also in the main development team. They were a squad with a lot of long term members and a lot of history.
A thing that made the 'Borg pretty unique amongst allegiance squads was that they had three Squad Leaders of equal standing who work together to support and organise the squad. These leaders were elected each year, which helped to keep the squad fresh, and also made the 'Borg a true democratic squad, where all Borg Drones have equal say.
In July 2012 the Squad decided to disband itself, because there were not enough active players left in the squad. One day, the Borg maybe come back.
