THE BREEN CONFEDERACY

The Breen Confederacy is an interstellar power located in the Alpha Quadrant. Its capital world is Beta Epsilon-Venturi VII (also known as Breen), a frozen class-P ice planet. Their neighbours include the Sheliak Corporate, the New Ferengi Alliance, the Romulan Star Empire, and the United Federation of Planets. Relations with the latter have not been historically smooth.

First Contact between the Breen Confederacy and the Federation occurred in the 23rd century, but the Breen declined diplomatic relations and remained non-aligned to any imperial power, vigorously defending their own small territory against any foreign intrusion. It was not until the outbreak of the First Dominion War that the Breen entered intergalactic politics.

In 2375, the Breen allied with the Dominion and entered the war, launching a surprise attack on Earth itself, damaging the city of San Francisco and Starfleet Headquarters. It was the first successful attack on the Federation's capital planet in two centuries. Although successful in this instance, the Breen were ultimately on the losing side in the war, and under the Treaty of Bajor were compelled to return to their home system.

Since then there has been no official contact between the Federation and the Confederacy. Although ostensibly neutral, many Breen act as pirates or raiders, or hire themselves out to third parties as mercenaries. The Confederacy itself refuses to comment, or put a stop to, these actions, leading many to wonder what the future holds for Federation-Breen relations.
