An Irregular Fleet: Breen Fleet Doctrine & Organisation

Today at long last, we finally take a look at the Breen Fleet of the Dominion War. at the time of it entering the War, The Breen Confederacy was an Unknown power in the Alpha quadrant. today we take a closer look at their ships, from their smallest Destroyers to their largest carriers. and Examine how these ships come together to form the newest combatant in the ever expanding dominion war.

Its not just the mass production factor of their modular ships, but the fact after a battle you can make a new ship from the wrecks of THREE ships for example. It would make a war of attrition harder against them.

they bring their princess leai bounty hunter helmets

Considering how the Breen use the Borg tractor beam, this shows somewhat of a pattern that they usually go for shield or energy draining weapons.

The Breen are a very mysterious but dangerous species not to be messed nor underestimated.

Forgiven for two years. I like the theme of blades in the design language. The slow, silent knife, a perfect weapon for an assassin in the dark, which is what I think the Breen really represent. A deadly threat up close and unseen... but not something you'd put on the frontline.

Splendid as always!!!

Reminds me a bit of the nomadic horsemen of the east, like early Mongols or Tartars. Organized by fluid allegiences of small clans. They are light missile cavalry, suited for lightening swirling attacks. Deadly, but they had better not be caught in a melee with armored horsemen.

Never turn your back on a Breen, and do NOT boop the snoot.

[reimannsum]

Such a fascinating species, though a massive plot contrivance.

The suicide attack on Earth with which the Breen announced their entry into the war is worth examining in itself.

Amazing video, and it's interesting to note that even though they are a minor power, the Breen were able to enter the war with quite an impressive amount of organization and power. They were able to come out of the gate swinging with 5 fleets (they immediately lost one at Earth but still) and were able to muster 7 fleets in only a few months. I'm sure Gowron was shooting batleths with his ridiculous eyes at his logistics officers after seeing this.

An interesting overview being made on the Breen fleets. Of the major powers of the Dominion War, they are quite the deadly wildcard.
One wonders why their dynamics developed and how the events of Dominion War change their outlook.

The Breen are so interesting as a faction, there ships are so powerful that they change the course of the war more than the larger Cardassian union ever did. But they aren't an outwardly aggressive power seming to be more isolationist, if they were as outgoing as kilingons then they would be probly be pretty dangerous

[daveczaro]

Great video. Wish they had someone like you on the writing staff!

Intrepid is a bleeding edge, no compromise, high performance machine made of the best technology starfleet had. The Idea that something, at least at sublight in the same weight class as an Intrepid can keep up and even outpace Intrepid is a pretty incredible feat and says a lot of the Breen engineering and specialisation, compared to Starfleet's generalisation.

The Modular frame with plug-in modules concept isn't something we usually see in trek and I don't think have ever seen done to this extreme. The Industrial advantages to doing so would seem to be substantial.
I would imagine that the Breen probably don't have cloaking devices, but certainly have other integrated Stealth technologies and well versed in stealth techniques owed to their history of Piracy.

This is complete head canon but I like to think the the 6 blades represent the 6 different species in the Confederacy and the ship shows the 6 working as 1 (both metaphorically and literally)

Love your content dude ❤️

[norcalsox]

I'm so happy you were finally able to get to this. The Breen are one of my favorites. Great job man

[splicetape]

I always assumed the helmet was either to accommodate a muzzle or to have a simular silhouette to the head of a homeworld predator.

Imagine Wayoung on his Star Destroyer talking to a group of Breen captains:
"there will be a substantial reward for the Breen Crew that captures the USS Defiant, and i want Sisko alive...NO DISINTEGRATIONS!"

[LackofFaithify]

I had been told we would also be getting a solo recitation by you of a Breen's children's song, "Baby Reef Consumer." Guessing that will be coming out as a Short?

[apophis]

I love how all the ships you showed im already 3d printing. Loge it!!!
