Breen ship
The Breen ship was a class of vessel that made up the backbone of the Breen Confederacy during the late-24th century.

History 
In late 2375, the Breen became allies of the Dominion, where they committed a large fleet of ships to join the war effort. Worf and Ezri Dax were brought aboard a ship after being captured by the Breen on a planet in the Goralis system. ()

The Federation first encountered the ships in combat during the Second Battle of Chin'toka. The Cardassian and Dominion ships held back while the Breen engaged and destroyed the Federation Alliance fleet and forced them from the Chin'toka system and losing the only enemy territory that they held in Cardassian space. ()  
 
Several Breen ships were destroyed by the Cardassian fleet when the Cardassians joined the Allies. Breen ships were also deployed in orbit of Cardassia Prime after the Dominion's retreat. ()

Technical data 
In 2373, it was noted by Tuvok that Breen ships, in general, used organic technology. ()

The primary weapon of the Breen ship were formidable torpedo weapons fired from at least three forward launchers at the pikes of the ship. One such ship destroyed Legate Damar's ship in orbit of Cardassia Prime. () 

Additionally, this class of ship was equipped with energy dissipaters which disabled enemy engines, weapons, and shields. () The Klingon Bird-of-Prey  was the only enemy not affected, leading to a defense being discovered. ()

The Breen ship was capable of displaying exemplary maneuverability, as one was able to outmaneuver the . ()

They could, however, be easily destroyed by a two volleys of quantum torpedos, or a single sustained phaser barrage. ()

Interior design 

The Breen ship was equipped with a holding cell and interrogation chamber. 

In 2375, both Worf and Ezri Dax held in a cell aboard Gor's ship, where they were fed algae paste for sustenance. According to Worf, their experience was "intolerable", as he was frustrated that "they have us caged up like animals!" ()

The interrogation chamber was where interrogations were conducted, where they used of "some kind" of cortical implant to probe their prisoners memory. ()

They were identified as little more than "Breen ships" in all related references and scripts, however, it would be reasonable to assume that the main war vessels used by the Breen during the war were indeed the same as the unseen but previously identified Breen warships previously referenced in .
