Much to his parents' regret, Aridal decided to join the Romulan Imperial Fleet at the age of 20. Aridal did not share his father's idealistic and, in his eyes, naïve ideas. Besides, he really wanted to fit in. So he left his family home and after his graduation became Sublieutenant on the Imperial Warbird Shanaara.

The rift in the family grew even wider when his father finally followed his beliefs and inner voice and eventually joined a dissident group in 2368. This did not end Aridal's career in the fleet, but it certainly stopped further promotions.

So now, at 49, Aridal had to find his way on Vulcan. During this time on Vulcan, he also immersed himself in Vulcan philosophy and logic under the now stronger influence of his mother and her family. He studied in depth the writings of Surak, Kiri-kin-tha and T'Plana-Hath. Again, however, he did not feel he belonged, because while he found some elements of Surak's philosophy really helpful and beneficial, he rejected their absolutely strict implementation as practised by most Vulcans.
