Raldul was a Malurian alignment, a social cohort. Raldul believed that expanding beyond Malur was the only way to ensure the Malurians' survival in an increasingly crowded and competitive galaxy. The majority alignments disagreed vehemently and exiled Raldul as a result. The alignment was forced to become a criminal organization as a result. The Raldul were considered masters of disguise. In the mid-22nd century, Raldul was led by Dular Garos. In 2163, Raldul became a member of Navaar's alliance, a criminal syndicate. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: A Choice of Futures)
