Fridge / Star Trek: Lower Decks S3E09 "Trusted Sources"

• Fridge Brilliance: Three Breen ships would hardly be enough to conquer an entire planet. However, it's likely that the Breen's main invasion force had gone in years earlier, and now they've killed most of the population and stripped the planet of its resources. It's not worth guarding with anything more than a light skirmish line.
• Fridge Horror: While somewhat mitigated by the loss of three warships, the Breen, as part of the peace treaty that they as Dominion members had signed, where they surrendered to the Federation Alliance, would have provisions that they would not attack the Federation nor their ships. By attacking, disabling and attempting to board the Cerritos, the Breen have just committed an act of war against the United Federation of Planets, which could have brought all Alliance members back together to remove the Breen threat.
