Breen is a surname of Irish origin. It is borne by people in Ireland and in countries with large Irish diasporas, and it appears in various contexts in modern usage.

Breen also refers to a fictional alien species in the Star Trek franchise, known as the Breen

Confederacy.
In
the
Star
Trek
canon,
the
Breen
are
distinguished
by
their
sealed
armor
and
muffled
voices,
which
conceal
their
faces
and
complicate
diplomacy.
They
are
depicted
as
a
secretive,
militarized
power
that
has
interacted
with
major
powers
in
the
Star
Trek
universe,
sometimes
as
allies
and
other
times
as
adversaries.
The
Breen
homeworld
and
early
history
are
largely
unrevealed,
contributing
to
an
aura
of
mystery
surrounding
their
motives
and
political
alignments.
They
participate
in
large-scale
conflicts
such
as
the
Dominion
War,
and
are
associated
with
technology
that
dampens
energy
emissions
to
reduce
the
effectiveness
of
enemy
weapons.
Their
engagements
with
the
United
Federation
of
Planets,
the
Klingon
Empire,
and
the
Cardassian
Union
are
featured
across
several
episodes
in
different
Star
Trek
series,
making
them
one
of
the
more
enigmatic
factions
in
the
franchise.
