Notes

One of the major classes of Andorian warship during the mid 22nd century, the Kumari class was a common sight to any who had dealings with the Andorian Imperial Guard. [2] The ships were a very impressive design for their time, approximately the equal of their Vulcan counterparts [3] and significantly superior to the Human NX class. Indeed, one Andorian officer noted that she hadn't seen weapons such as phase cannon since her early tactical training. [4] After the Xindi attack on Earth in 2153 the NX received several weapon and defensive system upgrades which brought them closer to matching the Andorian ships [5], and in 2154 the NX-01 fought alongside the Andorian fleet to prevent a Vulcan attack on Andoria. [3]

The Kumari was fitted with a shuttlebay [4], and carried a transporter system. [5] The ship had two external nacelles for the warp drive, located above the 'wings' to port and starboard. Two large impulse engines occupied the stern. [6]

Comments

Like many of the Enterprise ships we don't know a lot about the Andorian warships but you have to assume that the real DITL would know every detail, so I have to speculate rather rampantly. I've pitched the ships to be comfortably superior to the original NX class and an approximate match for the Vulcans. We don't have a class name for these ships, so I have gone with the usual site practice of naming them after the first ship of the class seen on screen.

If anybody knows of more official specifications - especially in areas such as dimensions, crew complement, etc, then I would be more than happy to hear about it.
