Breen Starships are designed for one thing: expanding the influence of the Breen Confederacy through destroying or enslaving their enemies. Built with a mix of organic and inorganic components, their ships are often asymmetrical and look more like monsters than spacecraft. Because the Breen are so secretive and xenophobic and because each vessel is, to a certain extent, "grown" as much as it is "built," Starfleet Intelligence has only been able to observe these four classes of starships.

Plesh Brek Frigate


The smallest warship observed in use by Breen forces, Plesh Brek-class frigates are used in swarms to overwhelm larger vessels. Unlike other Breen starship classes, they are ill-equipped for taking prisoners, as their purpose is to cause destruction and chaos on the battlefield. These are short-range vessels rarely observed outside of Breen space or without the support of larger warships.

They are built for fast strikes and their weapons are entirely forward facing. The primary energy weapon is a heavy disruptor located on a scythe-shaped extended bow and this is is complemented by two medium disruptors on spurs next to the body of the ship. They are extremely maneuverable, but their aft and side-facing shields are weak, which makes them deadly but fragile vessels.

In-Play

  • While longer than the Jem'Hadar Fighter, these frigates have about the same internal volume, because their hull is stretched out to be more intimidating. They are about as well-armed, but have much weaker shielding.
  • These are patrol vessels you might find around Breen space, but their range means that they usually stay in the system they're assigned to. It would be odd to see them outside of their own space. Their low top speed also means that they would be left behind by the larger fleet, so you'd find them behind the front lines.
  • These vessels would be very dangerous in swarms, especially if they were able to surround your ship. Avoid their forward-firing weapons as best as you can.


Chel Grett Cruiser


The Chel Grett-class cruiser, also known as the Breen Interceptor, is a fast, powerful warship that packs significant firepower into a compact frame. These ships are a well-known and feared sight on all of the Breen's borders, and they were used en masse in the Dominion War. These ships are built to take out hostile starships and to return slaves and resources to Breen space. This class is numerous and appears to be the Breen's preferred platform for most mission types.

Bringing the deadly energy dampening weapon into combat, they are a dangerous opponent for much larger Ferengi Alliance and Federation capital ships, to the point that Starfleet has adopted a rare "shoot first" doctrine with these vessels. While the energy dampening weapon is not as effective against modern starships as those in use during the Dominion War, the Breen have continued to fine-tune this weapon to ensure that it will be a threat for the foreseeable future.

As with other Breen vessels, these cruisers have weapons biased towards the front. They are wide but not tall, which presents the smallest target profile for frontal assaults. Bringing together the energy dampening weapon, disruptor cannons, and torpedo launchers, they are capable of withering barrages. The space within these vessels not devoted to weapons or engines is given over to cargo space, where plunder and captives are stored.

In-Play

  • This is the Breen Interceptor seen on Deep Space 9 and Lower Decks. We know from LDS that the energy dampening weapon still works to some extent, but the Cerritos was not fully immobilized by it. If you wanted it to be a major threat to your ship, you could definitely write it that way.
  • One-on-one, these ships are threat to any Starfleet cruiser or smaller vessel. They're less of a threat to larger Starfleet ships.
  • These ships make up the bulk of the Breen Fleet.
