The Kumari was an Andorian battle cruiser that was in service with the Andorian Imperial Guard during the mid-22nd century.

It was named after the first ice cutter to circumnavigate Andoria, and was the first starship of her class.


The Kumari was capable of speeds in excess of warp 5, and was armed with advanced weaponry and a tractor beam. In 2154, the ship had a crew complement of 86.







History

  • In December 2153, the Kumari entered the Delphic Expanse in search of the Earth starship Enterprise. After spending several weeks following Enterprise's warp trail, the Kumari rendered assistance in capturing a Xindi prototype superweapon.
    It was only discovered later that the Andorians intended to take the weapon for themselves, though Enterprise's Captain prevented them from doing so, by detonating the prototype. The Kumari escaped destruction, but suffered heavy damage.


  • In 2154, the Kumari followed the trail of the Xindi superweapon, and lent assistance to Enterprise's attempt to destroy the weapon before it could attack Earth.
    The Kumari engaged a Xindi warship, providing a critical diversion to allow an Enterprise away team to board the weapon and destroy it.


  • In late 2154, the Kumari was assigned to lead a covert task force of five warships inside a nebula, monitoring local space.
    Attempting to warn the Andorians of the Vulcan intent to invade Andoria, Enterprise located the Kumari with the help of a Vulcan Ambassador.
    Though the Andorians were initially reluctant to trust the Ambassador and the Enterprise crew, they eventually agreed to pass their information on to the Imperial Guard.
    While the Imperial Guard ultimately agreed to redeploy its forces to counter the invasion, the Kumari was but only one ship in a small and hastily deployed fleet, consisting of Enterprise and five other Andorian vessels.


  • While escorting an Andorian ambassador to a trade conference at the end of 2154, the Kumari was destroyed by a Romulan drone-ship posing as a Tellarite vessel.
    Only 19 of the 86 crew members, including the Captain, managed to get away in escape pods.
    They were later rescued by Enterprise, where the two Captains held a toast to the ship, commenting on the futures of both of their ships.
