* BilingualDialogue: The one permanent exception to Star Trek's normal TranslationConvention. Their language is always the same BlackSpeech, even when everyone else in the scene can understand them perfectly via TranslatorMicrobes.

Their language is always the same BlackSpeech, even when everyone else in the scene can understand them perfectly via TranslatorMicrobes. It's not until the late 32nd century that the Federation can finally translate their language.

* LeaveNoSurvivors: Breen attacks rarely tend to leave survivors, except in instances where they want captives. Trying to negotiate with them is a total waste of time.

** A Klingon fleet was sent to conquer the Breen homeworld and was never heard from again. Breen privateers will raid ships in the night, steal their cargo and leave no survivors or trace they've been there. A Breen prisoner will not utter a word until the instant you turn your back, whereupon you're toast. Nobody, but ''nobody'', messes with the Breen.

* ShoutOut: Their outfits look very similar to a certain ''[[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Star Wars]]'' disguise. This is lampshaded by Col. Kira, a Bajoran, [[DressingAsTheEnemy swiping a Breen's armor]] and leading her two "prisoners" (two Cardassians, in place of Chewie) at gunpoint -- straight into the Dominion stronghold.

* EminentlyEnigmaticRace: The Breen are notoriously enigmatic, to the point that even the ''Q Continuum'' is better-understood so far. Though the Breen have been met in person many times, they are never seen out of their all-concealing refrigeration suits, their language cannot be translated, and nobody knows anything about their culture other than a few vague snippets of information. Even by the 32nd century, no one appeared to have seen a Breen outside of their suits, at least not without realizing it.

** Well, no reason except for the one that ''was'' given (and it has nothing to do with their post-TNG/FC decay); they're established to assimilate only that which they believe will further their goal of achieving perfection (or for a quick top-up of resources), anything that provides nothing of value or is outright detrimental to their goals is simply ignored outright as not being worth their attention. Put simply, the Borg are not conquerors with dreams of universal domination, they're perfection seekers with very unpleasant methods.
