In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Kumari class starship is a rarely seen starship produced and used by the Andorian Imperial Guard; several are believed to exist in 2154. The class first entered service sometime in the mid 22nd century as a response to Vulcan Surak class combat cruisers. The design of the Kumari class resembles a gray manta ray with a forward 'head' section supported by a horizontal neck running aft to two vertical warp nacelles on top of the secondary hull.
