A [[ma:Humanoid|humanoid]] species from a cold planet that operates in a politically non-aligned manner and are reputed to be aggressive, with outposts in [[ma:Sector 97|Sector 97]]. The [[ma:Breen|Breen]] normally wear heavy robes and an environmental support mask in a [[ma:Class M|class M]] environment. Very little is known about their physiology or culture. It is presumed that the [[ma:Breen system|Breen home system]] is in an adjacent sector. While the [[ma:United Federation of Planets|Federation]] has some knowledge of their ways, [[ma:Betazoid|Betazoids]] are unable to detect the Breen empathically, and the Breen's use of cloaking technologies coupled with powerful disruptor-style weapons makes them both formidable and inaccessible to the Federation. Although the Breen are politically non-aligned, many Breen act as pirates or raiders, jeopardizing their neutrality. The disruptor-type, close-range damage done to the [[ma:SS Vico|SS Vico]] in the [[ma:Black Cluster|Black Cluster]] is consistent with their battle tactics and their level of technology - meaning the Federation has some knowledge of their ways. But a motive for the Breen to be inside the cluster is puzzling. A Breen pilot was sent to the race hosted by [[ma:Deep Space 3|Deep Space Three]], accused of being bribed by [[ma:Ferengi|Ferengi]] to throw the race. They have Type-III disruptors like both the [[ma:Romulan Star Empire|Romulans]] and [[ma:Klingon Empire|Klingons]], but would not kill all victims.
