It is interesting to note that in Star Trek: Online, the Breen wholeheartedly supported the signing of the Temporal Accords, citing time travel as a "coward's tool"

Funny how the Romulans are usually hyped up as the ultra secretive, isolationist faction... Then there's the Breen who make the Romulans seem like an open book by comparison.

I love the Breen because they're such an outlier to the setting, they just showed up one day and rocked everybody's shit. They didn't even really care that they lost, they just went back home and suffered few if any repercussions for bombing Earth.

I think it's telling that when Kira confronted a pair of Jem'Hadar in a Breen suit, the Jem'Hadar looked scared.

The Breen attack on Earth was crazy, the attacking forces were nearly wiped out and they didn't even damage anything of strategic importance, it was just a blow to Federation morale. Damar saw it as a pyrrhic victory, but the Breen just don't give a sh*t.

I liked the idea posed in the Post-Nemesis Pocket Books series that the Breen aren't actually one species, but several united under the same banner, like a secretive, militarised Federation.

I loved how unknowingly powerful the Breen were, the fact that just them entering the war turned it single handily in the Dominions favour, it made them seem so powerful which when combined with their enigma made them so terrifying.

Kira and Dukat saw a Breen because they stole "refrigerator suits" when they rescued Ziyal. Nor did they freeze to death wearing them suggesting that they're not refrigerated at all. Canonically, everything we know of the Breen comes from the Breen, so can be assumed to be a lie. In the real world, despite playing a major role in DS9 for three seasons, the writers never fleshed them out for some reason.

Most species with access universal translators: Normal speech Breen: Electric Garbling The Breen are indeed an enigmatic faction, with their full body suits, asymmetric warships, and astropolitical choices. In apocryphal Star Trek lore, the Breen may consist of multiple species. This is a rather *_"cool"_* video.

I love the theory that the Breen is not a single species, but multiple brought together for survival. And why they are so against the Federation for it counters their culture in almost every way it is consider subersive.

The Breen are one of my favorite science-fiction races of all time. I absolutely love the Breen and wished we got more of them because of how awesome they were.

The quote regarding Russia made by Winston Churchill applies perfectly to the Breen: "A riddle, wrapped inside of a mystery, wrapped inside of an enigma."

The breen always fascinated me becuase i knew nothing about them and i love the suits. Not sure if any of the books expand on them, maybe the comics? idk but i should check it out......... Man, i want a good star trek game, id take one like jedi fallen order and in order to make hand to hand combat make sense, id love to play as a Klingon, so going swords out would make sense. That would be so great How the hell do we not have a modern amazing trek rpg yet?

I've always wondered if the breen are shape shifters this could be the reason why we are unsure how they actually look, it would also explain why no one finds the body as it breaks down too quickly. It could also explain how the founders formed the alliance as they would have have similar common grounds.

I always like the theory that the Breen are the aliens from “Dear Doctor”, an ENT episode where the main characters have a cure to their species wide genetic disease, but refuse to give it to them because they’re “destined” to be wiped out, The Romulans gave them suits to survive and told them what the humans did, that’s why they hate the Federation.

An enemy you know little about is an enemy you won't be able to defend against or anticipate the strategies. I think the Breen should replace the Borg as the overall "Big Bad " of the Star Trek franchise. Plus Garak used a Breen suit in one episode. Could always study it and the wreckage of their ships from the Dominion War. Buy the info from the Ferengi. Have the defeated Dominion and Breen turn it over as terms for the Armistice. I think the term "Confederacy " is a ruse so they can disavow their raiding operations. The suits could mask several different types of species that live under the term of Breen. The Alpha Quadrant version of The Dominion that uses the suits to mask what they truly are from outsiders. Like Vorlons do.

Very deadly and mysterious during the dominion war.

Ideas for the next video: -Autobots(Transformers/IDW) -Decepticons(Transformers/IDW) -Adeptus Mechanicus(Warhammer 40K) -The TVA(MCU) -Cybermen(Doctor Who)

OrangeRiver released a fantastic video about the Breen about two months ago. I think that he's currently one of Top 5 Star Trek focused KZfaqrs.

Damn, the Breen are better at Isolationism than North Korea. With NK there's at least people who escape the system and tell the rest of the world what goes on in there, but the Breen don't seem to have that at all

Damn, Neil Breen has moved up in the world...and galaxy.

Id still like to see a 40k lore video on Ciaphas Cain.

for me the Breen will always be akin to the wolves in Saki's brutally elegant "The Wolves of Cernogratz" they are ever so delightfully eerie and terrifying, aren't they? ;) their mere entry into the Dominion war very nearly turned the tide of the war in the Founder's favours just like (snaps fingers) that

Nice of my favorite factions in StarTrek! sooo cool & mysterious! and i really like their "off" ship designs! (specially in ST:O, Breen ships are glorious to fly!)

Those helmets are the same one Leia wore in ROTJ.

Basically the Mandalorians of Star Trek.

Neil Breen Confederacy

How come the Breens outfits look like Princess Leias bounty hunter disguise in return of the Jedi?

I really like your WarHammer 40k videos. It would be great if you make a on Alpha Legion.

They sound almost as much of an enigma as our own Breen, of first name Neil

I love how the Breen look like princess Leia's disguise from ROTJ

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you the English subtitle.

You had me with the title

Ambitious episode given the lack of information on this civilization.

Breen physiology cannot be than much of a mystery. Kira and Dukat killed some Breen when rescuing his daughter. They could have seen what was underneath the helmet of the dead Breen. On Cardasia, Kira kills a breen and actually wears his suit. She must know what they look like. Likewise, during the Dominion war, there must be cases where the allies came across dead Breen and saw what was inside their suits. So the physiology must be known to some extent. If they have a physical form, then there will be knowledge what that could be. If there is nothing under the helmets, this is also an indication that they have no physical form or one that can't stay stable without the suit.

What if the Breen are like the Cylons of Star Trek. Interesting 🤔

Starfleet Reimagined!

I find it hard to believe that Starfleet hasn't come across a dead Breen and studied it.

I wonder if we might see more of the Breen in a future storyline from Picard or maybe Lower Decks. Meanwhile, I'm just waiting for a new version of the lost video on the Dominion.

It's a pity the series finale of DS9 saw a quarter million cut from their budget at the last minute, it didn't just cause some.reused footage to be used, the Breed where supposed to retreat before the assault on Cardassia.

I've got an idea for a series of videos you could do. How about the 24 factions of Twilight Imperium?

No foreigner has ever seen the Breen without their suits and lived? On two occasions Kira killed a Breen and took their suit.

Orions: Well at least you lasted longer against the Federation than we did.

Could you do the Terran empire next?

I hope you guys do one on the full length of the Dominion War

Breen are my favorite

so one think i have always thought is that they could be a synthetic race also their ships do have a similar look to the borg only with an eye for style, it would be an interesting idea if these guys were a distant offshoot of the race that would become the borg, maybe a colony ship entered a wormhole and found itself on the other side of the galaxy with no way to get home so they settled a world and thousands of years later we have the Breen.

Perhaps the Dominion offered them genetic engineering techniques that would allow them to live on Minshara class planets without environmental suits.

I have an idea for an Atlas investigation: Wellington Wells from We Happy Few. The narrator has a voice fitting enough for it

I would love to see you guys conquer the tholian assembly for your next trek race. Btw why did your dominion episode dissappear?

Heard a creepy theory that Breen soldiers my be animated cadavers that use refrigeration kits to keep them from decaying. If true then they would be a scary enemy to deal with.

As much as I think that showing what the brain actually look like would ruin them, I swear that if I was operating in the Star Trek universe as an independent, the first thing I would do is crack a few of those suits open whether they liked it or not.

Can you do a video on the Autobots?

Pretty awesome. next something about South Park?

Wait? No one has seen one with out their suit? Maybe I am misrembering but didn't Kira and Dukat beat up some and steal their uniforms to rescue his daughter?

"This is intolerable! They have us caged up like animals!" -- WORF

I remember in the books post war , the Breen became very worried about federation technology superiority, and they attacked and destroyed utopia fleetyard ( like in Picard except yhem not androids) and form an alliance with all the federation enemies and stolen federation slipstream technology from the delta quadrant. The typhon pact . ( breen , tholians, zhenkety , and a couple of other worlds) after a post war borg invasion, the federation, romulus and Klingons never being weaker.

I thought The Breen were surrounded on all sides by The Federation, so the size of their empire would be constrained, not unknown.

Earlier than my Notification 🔔

Little known fact, The Breen were also welcome at Jabba the Hutt's palace.

Eyes on Breen

The Federation would never have developed a countermeasure to the Breen energy dampner, if the Breen _had not joined the Dominion._ Starfleet were only able to obtain a Breen dampner due to failings in Cardassian security on Jem'hidarr ships being retrofitted with the Weapons. … If the Dominion did not insist on having Breen weapons installed in their own ships, and the Founders didn't have a "traitor", the Breen's enigmatic nature means Starfleet would never have been able to get one. So in some parallel universes where the wormhole was never discovered, the Breen have this ace which they'll use someday - and perhaps a lone Bird of Prey won't make certain reactor adjustments at just the right time?

Nice work not alot of Breen lore vids out there, and i was hoping it would be this Narrator. 🤟

I like to imagine the Breen are either non-corporeal organics or a robotic race akin to a swarm intelligence. Rather than a hive intelligence like the Borg, the individual "selves" could each have a voice in the Breen Confederacy but their external politics is using the entire swarm's voice. As for why they are using the suits, two ideas come to mind: Camouflage and optimal processing. To interact with other species, they likely determined they had to look similar enough to them and thus created the suits to serve as avatars of the swarm. In order to quickly process both the will of the swarm and the strategic situation in normal "biological" environments they would need to keep cool to maximise processing speed. It's entirely possible the ultra-cold suits is to keep biological species from looking too close as it's clearly incredibly dangerous for them if the suit is breached. This would take up vast amounts of resources, but given organic species tend to react badly to synthetic ones it is safer than the other choice until the Dominion comes along promising to unite all regardless of species, finally giving the Breen a path out of their self-imposed restrictions.

I only just noticed that Breen helmets look rather like a certain character from Star Wars...

Isn’t there an episode of DS9 where Worf steals a Breen uniform from a knocked out Breen soldier?

Could you take a look at the ADVENT administration from xcom 2? It’s really interesting to me and has a decent amount of lore

Factions I would like to see next: 1. Ice Nation | The 100 2. The Gorn Hegemony | Star Trek 3. The peacekeepers | Dying Light 2 4. Order of the Ancients | Assassin's Creed 5. The Ferengi Alliance | Star Trek

Can you do the True Sith empire

In short: The Breen Confederacy is a land of contrast

.....CRM-114 ?!

Isnt that breen ship called the Chell Gret or something like that?

Kira took a Breen suit and wore it on Cardassia Prime, so she would have seen one.

Another interesting one is the Tholians but they didn't get much attention and the pre-Federation relationship between Vulcans and Andorians. Never trust a Vulcan

KZfaq fucked up. Your video title on my youtube feed was about a Garmin Fenix watch...lol

Wouldn't say MOST secretive. Would say that one's the weird sentient mechanical robots.. whom we've NEVER SEEN outside STO least in my knowledge.

Please do the Terran republic from plantside 2

Please tell me that Neil Breen is their God.

👍👏

So basically Swiss in Space?

Shame they weren't fleshed out in the shows

very funny

Breen= Vikings circa 800 A.D. 😅

Hasn't anyone every studied the body of a dead Breen? Or taken sensor reading? Come on folks. sm

Hilarious that they stole a Star Wars: Return of the Jedi helmet for a prop.

they wanted both sides to lose

Commenting 4 algorithm

So if death troopers were a society lol

Why did they ally with the Dominion?

The Breen are clearly extra-galactic refugees who have fled the GFFA. The hats give it away.

Of course the term Confederacy, regarding the brain, maybe like certain countries that call themselves republics but are just autocracies. You know like China and North Korea.

Who copywrites this? Maybe looking to hire.

Comment for statistics

So long story short. - we have no idea what they are. - we have no idea where they came from. - We have no idea on their agenda. - lastly, we have no idea who they are

It's official, star trek and half life are canon

Second

Right off the bat, a vessel with green lights looming menacingly in the darkness.
