I can't be the only one who thinks they just reused the Leia bounty hunter mask for the design of the Breen mask.

I have been looking for an answer to this since the Breen first appeared ~1995. So far as I can tell, there has never been any official acknowledgement that the Breen design was based on the ROTJ design, but a few people who claim to have insider knowledge have said on forums that it was an intentional homage. Maybe someone got the lawyers nervous enough to put out a memo never to talk about it.

Just realized the idea that Breen can be at least partially "liquid" may explain why the Breen immediately gain such good standing with the Dominion when they join up, deseating the Cardassians as the primary Alpha Quadrant member race.

Honestly, that line of Ruhn about "evolving past" made me wonder if the Breen had perhaps done genetic tampering to evolve into the liquid form in the last 800 years, especially if they retained any alliance with the Founders.

If a Vogon had a helmet i guess it would not really be that shocking of a reveal.

One of the old theories about the Breen is that they're made of chemicals that are only solid in very low temperatures so when their refrigeration suit is removed, their bodies melt/evaporate and that's why no one knows what they look like.

It's difficult to believe that the Breen could've fought other species without their enemies taking a few corpses to study. Unless their bodies immediately disappear for some reason, and I don't think disintegrating like a vampire is likely, or they are some how out of phase with reality, then the wider universe was going to learn what a Breen looks like pretty quickly. Now before there were any hostilities, I find it very plausible that the Breen used the refrigeration suits as an encounter suit with but in misdirection. Eventually the truth would come out, but for an insular culture, it's a believable strategy. When I heard that the Breen were being damasked, I was very disappointed. I personally liked the mystery surrounding the species, and I think that Trek should've kept the viewers in suspense even if everything about the Breen became common knowledge in universe. Suits and helmets could've just been a cultural thing, and their speech should've always remained digitized and distorted for the viewers even if everyone else was holding a conversation with a Breen on screen. It could've been a fun quirk of the species.

I know the novels aren't considered canon, but I always preferred the Typhon Pact take on the Breen, where the suits are generic to hide the identity of those within, who are actually a multitude of species all part of the Breen Confederacy. The story I read involved Bashir and Ezri meeting Breen separatists who wanted to live without their suits and establish relations with the Federation. One of them was described as very wolf-like, the way Caitians are cat-like After reading that, the actual reveal of the Breen in Discovery has been kind of...underwhelming

The wear refrigeration suits, because their homeworld was quite nice, while it probably used to be more like Andoria. Being more temperate would mean for them like Earth turning into Arrakis for us.

Worf could still be right... in a sense. It is still possible that breen in "jelly mode" when dying could theoretically decompose ultra quickly. Like a water bubble being popped and immediately splashing down to a puddle of liquid. To a linguistically floral Worf, that probably would be more metaphorical "nothing" than tangible nothing. As Worf IS known to do.

I still like how they dealt with the whole Breen situation in the expanded universe novels, where the Breen were not a single species, but a confederacy of ... five, I think? ... distinct races. Their society considered it taboo to reveal your "actual" species, so the suits they wear were intentionally made to disguise any distinct characteristics, or in some cases (like the snout) make it appear that all Breen have them, when it was only one of the species that does. I think that was a neat way of dealing with all the intentionally confusing and contradictory information we had on them.

@Anduril74871 13 күн бұрын

I love that the Breen are a more fluidic race. I think it might be somewhat hinted that the solid form is sometimes difficult to hold, hence the need for the refrigeration suits to keep the fluidic form in a shape that can operate their warships and weapons. I think that's incredibly fascinating, especially in contrast to how rigid their military system seems to be.

Putting the logic together... The Breen are a liquid or gelatinous race that can choose to take solid form. They use refrigeration suits to make them 'solid' while in their gel form. They see this gel form as their 'true' form. Now I wonder, there is one other species that has a solid/non-solid form, the Changlings. They could be a very distant cousin of them.

The easiest way to explain away Worf's comment is that he's referring to Klingons. No KLINGON has ever seen under a Breen helmet and lived, or possibly no Federation personnel (neither Kira nor Dukat are Federation). Otherwise, we have to come up with some other explanation that is less plausible and requires more bending like the Breen melt when they die if in jelly mode, or Kira and Dukat didn't take the uniforms off the guards they knocked out.

It could even still be made Alpha Canon in Discovery because it was believed at the time of the Confederacy that it was comprised of at least 12 species. Who is to say that the Breen Imperium did not come about when the Yod-Thot species became the dominant faction? Maybe the other factions and their Primarchs represent the other species of the former Breen Confederation. This would explain all of those "continuity errors."

In one the novels it explains the contracdictions. The Breen Confederacy is made up of 4 or more species. One human like, one wolf like with muzzle, one that needs cold, and one that has a 4 lobed brain that cannot be read by a Betazoid. To stop any conflict and favoritism between these species they all wear a universal enviroment suit and talk via a communicator. A Breen only removes thier suit in their personal quarters. So a group of Breen can be any of the different races and none of them knows who is who. Hope this helps.
