The Breen dreadnought was a class of dreadnought operated by the Breen Imperium during the 32nd century. Massive in size, it was the most powerful vessel in the Breen fleet.
The ship was capable of traversing a transwarp conduit as a shortcut and used a form of warp drive as its primary means of faster-than-light travel.
A dreadnought comfortably outgunned a Federation Crossfield-class starship. It was equipped with directed energy weapons and torpedo launchers, as well as shield-tunneling technology that enabled it to deploy soldiers through deflector shields. Its defenses included shields and a cloaking device; there was a gap in shield coverage at the aft exhaust port. There was a large shuttlebay at ship's center, which was also the location of the bridge.
Primarch Ruhn controlled a dreadnought, although it was jumped to the galactic barrier by the USS Discovery. (DIS: "Mirrors", "Erigah", "Labyrinths", "Lagrange Point", "Life, Itself")
Primarch Tahal commanded a fleet of three dreadnaughts. (DIS: "Life, Itself")

Background information[]
The concept for the Breen dreadnaught was pitched by writer Carlos Cisco: "I had been looking at Breen ship designs, including the Star Trek Online ones, which were these colossal, city ships that could house entire armies and fleets inside of them. And again, talking about what haven’t we seen and what could we have as our adversary. Like, Osyraa’s ship was big in comparison to Discovery, but we wanted to do something – this thing was just a behemoth. Like a Discovery-sized ship could fly into its shuttle bay." [1]
