Star Trek: Discovery Revealed More About The Breen Than Ever Before
The Breen have become great Discovery villains
The Breen memorably made their mark on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but Star Trek: Discovery season 5 has delved more deeply into the Breen than ever before. Thanks to Discovery, fans have now seen inside the massive Breen dreadnought and also know that the Breen are gelatinous (dubbed "Jelly Breens" by Star Trek: Discovery's writers) underneath their helmets and refrigeration suits. Star Trek: Discovery also revealed the 32nd century Breen Imperium is caught up in a civil war, with factions in conflict over who will be the next Breen Emperor.
Moll (Eve Harlow) killed Primarch Ruhn (Tony Nappo), L'ak's (Elias Toufexus) diabolical uncle, and took control of his faction of the Breen.
L'ak is the first Breen to fall in love with a human, Moll, and reject his culture. L'ak, who tragically died in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, "Erigah", is also the Breen Scion and part of the royal bloodline. Even in death, L'ak commands the Breen's loyalty, and Moll is risking her life to possibly resurrect L'ak with the Progenitors' technology, which is the power of creation. What becomes of Moll, L'ak, and the Breen, with a new enemy, Primarch Tahal, entering the quest for the Progenitors' treasure, will be revealed in the series finale of Star Trek: Discovery.
