Weren't the Breen introduced in TOS?
- No, their first mention was in TNG. Their first onscreen appearance was on DS9.--Fallout boy 10:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
The article says that the Breen "eat algae paste". I assume this is from the DS9 episode "'Til Death Do Us Part" when Worf and Ezri were given that to eat. However they were prisoners. Prisoners are not usually fed what their captors eat. If the Breen diet was not mentioned anywhere else, then shouldn't the line about Breen eating algae paste be removed?

[edit] Another use of "Breen"
Breen was also the original term for citizens of Bregna in the animated version of Æon Flux. The movie page and video game page made reference to the term "Bregnan", and thankfully, this was not used in the movie. After all, what's the point of having a name for the citizens of a country, when there is only one left?
[edit] Weyoun's Comment
Isn't it possible that Weyoun found the Breen homeworld to be pleasant mearly because he was genetically engineered by the founders? I mean, c'mon, we clearly see him in one episode drinking a bottle of poison laced drink that is udnerstood to be able to kill an organism of any other species many times over!
[edit] Put this in the "Star Trek" article.
Please.
[edit] Picture
That's a pretty terrible picture. Are there better ones out there?
[edit] The "contradictions" section
I have significantly trimmed the contradictions section, because it sounded as if it was written by a TNG-loving/DS9-hating Trekkie in that, aside from the fact that it was arguably not an "overhaul" when they were introduced as Dominion allies (given their lack of exposure, literally), most "contradictions can be explained away with a little common sense. The fact that the Breen energy weapon is a great example; who's to say it wasn't simply a new invention? The Breen are held to be fierce warriors, but the energy weapon that disabled the Federation/Romulan/Klingon ships was essentially useless once those fleets adapted. Another is Dukat's mention of a Breen embassy - so it's a frozen wasteland, and he's hoping to send his adversary there because Cardassians hate the cold, so what? It's not at all unbelievable that the Breen, with those complex suits, have technology allowing other species to visit their world. Moulder 22:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
It could be that the Breen planet has a mainly frozen environment with a temperate area around the equator, which could be used to allow alien species to visit. Why should the entire planet haev the same climate? Dan Tessier, 6th April 2007
[edit] Affiliation ?
The Breen's affiliation to Dominion can be only assumed to be valid upto the The Treaty Of Bajor, where the existence of the Dominion would be in dispute. Kingbarney 25 June 2007 23:11 UCT
