The Kumari is a fictional starship in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise. The Kumari is of Andorian origin and is a Kumari-class starship in the service of the Andorian Imperial Guard. The ship's captain is Commander Shran.
The Kumari is the first starship of its class, and proves itself in battle many times.[1] The ship takes its name from an ancient Andorian sea-going vessel, the first ice cutter to successfully circumnavigate the entire surface of Andoria.[2]
The Kumari, has a much faster maximum speed than Starfleet vessels, thus enabling Shran to easily locate the Enterprise in the Delphic Expanse.[3] Shran tells Archer that the Kumari is there to assist Starfleet, but Shran's military has ordered him to steal the Xindi prototype super-weapon and secure it for the Andorians. Shran complies, but later feels terrible guilt at being ordered to double-cross a trusted friend, and ally.[3] Later, Shran and his ship return to help Archer fight off renegade Xindi starships in orbit of Earth.[4]
Shran feels a particular affinity for his ship — he commands it for many years, and most of the Kumari's crew served with him on other assignments prior to this. The Kumari (along with most of its crew) is destroyed in late 2154 by a Romulan prototype vessel. Shran is one of the few survivors of this disaster.[1][2]
[edit] Technical specifications
The Kumari is armed with particle weaponry as its primary offensive weapon and utilizes deflector shields to defend from hostile fire.[3][5] The Kumari is significantly more advanced than the Earth vessel Enterprise, sporting more advanced weaponry and tractor beam technology as well as superior sensor systems.[3]
