The title says it all. Can we PLEASE have the Breen Confederacy as a faction?:D It would be pretty awesome flying in those ships with energy dampeners and a storychain could be you harassing the Deferi or something. So does anyone want this?
You may now DISCUSS.....:D

evil refrigeration suits? lol
IMO natural 4th faction are Cardassians - they have a lot of appearances in bth NG and DS9, we have a lot of info about their culture and we know many important characters of their race. If we include remains (deserters) of dominion forces into their race, we could have very interesting multi-dimensional faction using Cardassian, Breen and dominion ships, with cardassian, Vorta, Jem Hadar and Breen on board.

The Breen Confederacy, in the books is a confederation of systems, and of many races, but they all wear the same outfit in public. The government is essentially a police state.
But, to learn more, there's a Typhon Pact book that features Bashir and Ezri, which focuses on an operation into Breen territory.

Unfortunately I thought this wouldn't happen. However there is a compromise. In one of the Breen FE's it said there was a underground movement (similar to the RR) and ,instead of the Confederacy, we could have the 'Rebels' instead. Also the Breen BOFF we get is part of the movement.
Yes i've read that book. If Cryptic/PWE put some of the info from that book we could get a interesting faction especialy if it's the underground Movement I mentioned before were we could fight for freedom.
In the end, at the same time as giving us the Romulans, we got Tal Shiar ships for anyone. It's hard to say if that opens the door for other factions despite existing lockbox ships, but I still have to put my money on races with current lockbox ships out never seeing the light of day as full factions. Especially since the Galor is decidedly a core ship that would have needed to be a t3 or t4 freebie. I really would like Cardassians, though. I have a big soft spot in my heart for those lovable ol' spoonheads.

then we can throw in some fed, kdf, and rom ships into lockboxes for them XD
it would never work; there is no background or history to the breen, other then their suits they wear no much more then that is known about them.
the reason why people are looking for the cardassians or borg for the next playable and why no one denies it can happen on that ground alone is because both sides have a past history and a background to work from which makes them viable.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
but then a cardassian faction as the 4th. I think the breen could be used better in this game, they are a good bad guy. it would be nice if they expanded the breen story past the deferi missions.
also wouldn't it be a great way for them to add 'hoth' (randonmly named ice world that interests the breen) as an adventure zone planet. just like they added tatooine(nimbus III). the breen could be the main bad guy there.

And this applies to Borg, Undine, Tholians, etc., etc., etc...
I agree. The Breen culture presented to us in "Zero Sum Game" is fascinating and unique. It provides many possibilities for the game. That said, I can't imagine the Breen ever being represented as a full faction. Either way, I'd like to see elements from the Typhon Pact take on the Breen woven into the ongoing storyline of Star Trek Online.
Actually, I think that a Cardassian faction is likely to be next.
Of the major non-Federation races we learned a lot about on screen, you have the Cardassians, the Ferengi, and the Borg left. I suppose you might add in the Dominion. Although they only appeared in one series, there was a lot learned about many Gamma Quadrant species such as the Founders, Jem'hadar, and Vorta.
Those are the obvious choices for any future factions since there is player interest and enough information to make a faction with missions that are true to canon. There are also lock-box ships released for all of them. Cryptic is going to have to deal with the lock box ship issue for any probable future faction except the Borg.
There are probably at least 100 other non-Federation species in canon, such as the Breen or the Tholians, but it seems that there is scant canon information and scant player interest.

They are good villains, mysterious, cool looking (At least I think so) and they brought the Federation to its knees. There isn't much lore to go with them, we don't even know what they look like, Novels say there are four species. I can't see it ever happening but fleshing them out and getting a peek under there masks might be cool. Perhaps they coud ally with the Romulan republic since they once double crossed the RSE.
Parallels: my second mission for Fed aligned Romulans.

Right, we don't know much about the Breen, but that offers the Devs a blank slate with which to work, even if they just appear as a larger threat than their featured episode series and/or offered up as a playable species.
Looking back at DS9 we saw a variety of conflicts arise, what was it...at some point KDF vs. Cardassians, KDF vs. Feds, and then basically Alpha Quadrant vs. Gamma Quadrant more or less? Sorry if I've hosed that up a little. Anyway, maybe at some point the the current KDF vs. Fed war will change to something else once more factions come into play. KDF and Fed vs. whomever, etc., you get the idea. To be honest, I don't get the feeling of a war with the Federation going on at all as I buzz right past the Sol System, probably due to the lack of open pvp areas of space or lack of random orders from Klingon High Command. 2 factions are enough to start some nice RvR battles...3 or 4 would be better, and periodically changing up alliances/conflicts would, in my opinion, help to keep things fresh in an ever shifting political climate.
Ok, so maybe I rattled on for a bit but the point is, the Devs will keep rolling stuff out for us. We just need to constructively request the things we'd like to see. "Never" in STO only applies in a few cases, just try to keep an open mind.
For people who need a story reason for this, during the Dominion War, the Dominion which at the time Cardassia was a member of, decided to give Colony Worlds to the Confederacy to help entice them to join in the war against the Federation-Klingon-Romulan alliance.
EX.1) An example for a tutorial into the Breen Faction, your mission for the first 10 levels is to hunt down and either capture or kill Breen Rebels, only to end up joining the Breen Rebellion perhaps called Breen Sovereignty. I feel this one is the most likely way of doing a Breen Faction, like the Romulans how level 10 you joined the Republic in a story driven way and later joined the KDF or UFP around level 20.
EX.2) Another possible idea is a choice system not unlike the Romulan Faction, example, around level 20 or so you have to choose between the Confederacy or the Sovereignty. The only issue with this particular example is the amount of work it would take to create such a faction division as such I feel this particular possibility is unlikely, otherwise we would have had the ability to join the Tal Shiar or remain with the Republic.
Honestly I could see the first example being more likely because Story Wise you'd join the Sovereignty and then you choose either KDF or FED at the end of Level 20 like the Romulan Faction for the Republic. Do I see either of these occurring within the next year? No I do not within the next 3-4 years? Maybe, Romulans came into the game as a player faction around year 3 so it isn't unlikely to assume they wouldn't make another player faction in the next 3 or so years.
...but for the record, i doubt there will be another faction added to STO anytime soon, or ever.
"BZZZSRAC XSSASASS"
Stilll no... We've seen them 5'ish times in Star Trek... Not enough to base a faction on, and quite frankley they were boring.
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.
