CLASS:
As with almost every aspect of the Breen, relatively little is known about these ships. In size they are slightly larger than the Miranda class, and appear to be slightly stronger than those vessels. The ship is of an unusual design, with nothing visible which is obviously a warp nacelle. The presence of small winglets on the ship hints at some atmospheric ability, although these ships have never been known to land on the surface of a planet.
The Breen use organic vessels, and these vessels are presumably organic in nature. Again, Starfleet can only speculate on what form the manufacturing/growing process might take. The hulls of the Frigates seem to be capable of withstanding approximately the same level of damage as a normal hull of this size ship.
The offensive armament appears to be limited to torpedoes, but the vessel is generously endowed with four tubes. One tube is located in the ships nose, with three smaller weapons around the amidships area. The main weapon appears to be equivalent to a standard Starfleet photon torpedo tube, and although nothing is known about the others their smaller size indicates that they are less capable. It may be that the Breen favour the redundancy which comes with multiple smaller weapons. Their small size does make these ships quite manoeuvrable, and at Warp 9.88 they are also fast. This does help to make them a more formidable foe, but high speed is of more use when avoiding the enemy than when engaging it. Overall then, the Breen frigate is not a serious competitor to the likes of an Excelsior class, let alone a Defiant, but their small size has allowed them to be constructed in large numbers and the fleet as a whole is a formidable force. So far as is known this is the only warship class they employ.
The decisive advantage which the frigate did have was its energy damping weapon. Located in the ships bow, one shot from this device was able to completely paralyse virtually any opponent. The Breen would then close and use their conventional weapon to finish off their helpless prey. The weapon was first used against the allied fleet sent to reinforce the Chin'Toka system in the latter stages of the war, where it allowed the Dominion forces to annihilate the allies.
