The Breen have now changed to a more legally distinct helmet in Discovery 5x05 "Mirrors"
And we get to see them unmasked and speaking English too, as if DS9 didn't spend ages building up a whole mystique about them

Entirely too many people in the Deep Space 9 Fandom: hating on the Dominion like they don't have valid/relatable motivations for the horrible things they did
Me, staring into the camera despite not having real eyes: The Breen. They're just ... just there. They add nothing to the conflict, they make their unintelligible noises, they occasionally kill someone we don't care about, we barely learn anything about them as a species. Why even are the Breen?
Which Minor* Star Trek "Enemy" Species Is Your Favorite?
The Kazon

The Suliban
The Xindi (bonus points if you tell me which of the six is your favorite)
The Sphere-Builders
The Gorn (SNW version)
Pakleds
OP you forgot ________ (in the tags)
*Minor here means a combination of "not well-known" and "not focused on by the show" - as well as "unpopular" because I didn't want to have one poll and skew the votes by having Klingons next to the Suliban.
(I am defining "enemy species" here as a species that frequently plays/played the role of villain, specifically within the context of behaving aggressively toward the main characters/the Federation as a unit. This is why the Orions are not on here; they don't go to war with the Federation or anything, it's just individual members of the species being jerks/doing various shady dealings for the Syndicate. Even if a species later becomes allied with the Federation, they are still included here (hence the Xindi).)
What is a Legate in an occupied state?
I think it's interesting how the cardassian government evolved as a concept in the star trek mythos from the wounded to way of the warrior
in one of the tng episodes (I think chain of command or possibly a later tng cardassian episode) Picard says that the military holds the most power over affairs on Cardassia
however its later stated in DS9, the most specific occurance I can think of is defiant, that while the detapa consul is supposed to have power over the central command and Obsidian order, the two operate independently with the consul having very little influence in the grand scheme of things
in s4 there has been a successful revolution on Cardassia prime subsequent to the fall of the Obsidian order in the gamma quadrant in s3, in return to Grace it is revealed in gul Dukat's rant subsequent to his conversation with the civilian government that they are in fact the detapa consul
I just think it's interesting how the pre s4 ds9 cardassian government changed from a military government with a civilian puppet to the worst kept secret in the alpha quadrant
what's your favourite cardassian government?
Central command
Obsidian order
Detapa consul
Detapa consul post revolution
Dominion (gul Dukat)
Dominion (Legate Demar)
Dominion (Legate Broca)
Dominion (exterminatus)
Garak and Bashir?
dead Demar?
Having the Breen show up was the biggest “Oh, shit” moment on Lower Decks so far.
okay so i had this thought last night. Why didnt we get to see what the breen looked like? Like i know, no one who ever saw a breen lived to tell the tale but ffs, cant someone like garak have just gone over to one of them, merely curious and gone, right, the fuck do you look like under that helmet. and took the helmet off for the world to see. Like you’re not telling me garak didnt once get overcurious during the war.
ACTUALLY
You know what, matter of fact, when Kira and Dukat go and look for Ziyal. Theres a fuck ton of breen there, THEY WERE EVEN WEARING THE BREEN SUITS. WHY DIDNT THEY JUST LOOK AT ONE OF THE DEAD ONES.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
I was looking through some old photos and it looks very... similar...
This here is one of the Breen, from season 7 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
And this is Princess Leia disguised as Boushh, from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
I'm not the only one who sees it, right?
Not to mention that they both serve as disguises for the female lead.
