Breen physiology Very little is among known about the most exotic for [[Breen. They are thought to be humanoid]] lifeforms, which may as they appear to be dueof typical humanoid height and build, in partthough Ezri Dax speculated that they had a wolf-like appearance, to their homeworld's climateand xenologists speculated that the Breen could be a silicon-based lifeform. The No one has seen the Breen outside of their sealed, refrigerated suits of armor; it is said that those who have no blood or other liquid circulatory systemdid not live to tell of it. The Since it had been reported that the Breen brain is structured into four lobes; this protects homeworld was a frozen wasteland, it was thought that the refrigerated suits were intended to keep them from the probing of some [[Telepathy#empathic|empathic]] speciescomfortable in warmer alien climates, such as the [[Betazoid]]sthough Weyoun once mentioned that Breen is "actually quite comfortable", who are unable to detect leaving the thoughts or emotions purpose of their suits a source of the Breenspeculation.
:''It The Breen are often regarded as ruthless and devoid of humanoid compassion, a depiction that is possible this toughness augmented by their lack of blood. During the Dominion War, their unprecedented attack on Starfleet Headquarters was due, in part, to the seen as a symbol of their ferocity. The Romulans have a saying: "Never turn your back on a Breen's armor rather than its physiology".''
The Like the Ferengi, the Breen constantly wear refrigeration suits in order were immune to telepathy. This resistance to telepathic intrusion had led many to maintain a cold temperature like speculate that on the their homeworldbrains were multi-lobed, thus preventing any such technique from working. According ===Revelation - Classified Most Secret=== Star Fleet Intelligence successfully infiltrated Breen space in the 2380s and uncovered definitive and somewhat startling information relating to Worf, no one had ever seen what the Breen and their biology. Initially it was believed that the Breen were a single race; however the name Breen is a name taken on by the member species of the Breen looked like under their refrigeration suits Confederacy. It has been claimed that the individual races take on the singular name and the concealing uniforms in order to prevent any biases and lived. Even after joining prejudices to interfere with the [[Dominion]], development of their appearance was unknown society. The uniform design has been designed to their new alliessupport the distinctive features of the individual races.

==Physiology==
It was speculated that the Breen body may be composed of ammonia and gelatin, which are held together in freezing temperatures but evaporate in warmer temperatures. If this hypothesis proved true, they would likely have a skeletal structure but, as they have no blood, contain few organs. The internal structure of the Breen body is able said to take consist of layers of gelatin-filled chambers, with the gelatin serving a considerable beating before being taken downsimilar function to blood, as it transfers chemicals vital for bodily functions. When Worf attacked Therefore, when a Breen with sustains an injury, a blow that could normally fell layer of gelatin will clot around it and seal the wound, which will leave a [[Nausicaan]], the Breen was unfazed. It then successfully zapped him with its neural truncheonscar if left untreated.
==Society and Culture==
The Breen commonly produce offspring at a very early age, at about the equivalence in physical growth of human 3rd grade children. The Breen entertain their offspring with nursery rhymes. Breen nursery rhymes can be made up of a heterophonic, five-line verse with an alternating tetrameter and pentameter structure. These are nonsensical phrases strung together because they rhyme (at least to the Breen). Some Breen music, which can accompany these nursery rhymes, is written on a Lyxian scale.
===Treatment of Prisoners===
The Breen are known to use slave labor; and at least some of these slaves are captured in raids on other species. When the Breen were using [[Bajoran]]s slaves to mine dilithium ore, there were always at least eight guards within the mines.
==Science and Technology==
Given that most known humanoid species live on [[Planetary Classification Table#M|class M]] planets with an average temperature far above the supposed temperature of Breen, the Breen are largely thought to have had to develop refrigeration suits in order to co-exist with others. However, if the Breen homeworld is temperate as suggested by Weyoun, then their reason for wearing environmental suits, if they were environmental suits at all, is much more mysterious.
==History and Politics==
Shrouded in mystery, the Breen have been discovered to be one of the most underestimated races inhabiting the [[Alpha Quadrant]].
===Alliance with the [[Dominion]]===
In 2375, the Breen moved from a policy of low-level hostilities toward other major powers to one of open warfare when they allied themselves to the [[Dominion]]. They were then allowed access to the [[Dominion]] military database. According to the terms of the alliance, the Breen Confederacy received several planets in the [[Cardassian]] Union as compensation for joining the war.
