Lott Dod also known by the battle droids, Senator Dod, is a male Neimoidian senator of the Trade Federation, representing the trade conglomerate's interests in the Republic Senate. a manipulative being skilled at political maneuvering, held this position from as early as 33 BBY, when he fought against the taxation of the Federation-dominated Free Trade Zones. When this initiative failed, the Federation invaded the Mid Rim world Naboo in retaliation in 32 BBY. When Naboo's queen, Padmé Amidala, came to the Republic capital Coruscant to call upon the Senate to send much-needed aid to her beleaguered people, Dod made every effort to block Amidala's pleas, claiming that there was no proof to back up her accusations. He conspired with the Separatists on numerous occasions throughout the war, and although his traitorous dealings were uncovered by members of the Republic, Dod continued to serve as the Federation's representative in the Senate on the urging of those wishing for a peaceful end to the conflict. During 19 BBY, Dod was at Cato Neimoidia.
Personality[]
Cunning and immoral, with a voice reminiscent of that of a snake charmer, Lott Dod is a scheming bureaucrat who often uses political tactics such as filibusters, manipulative wrangling, and even bribery to further the goals of the Trade Federation. Like all Neimoidians Lott Dod is greedy and will get what he wants by any means necessary. Dod can also fight very well as seen in the Invasion of Neimoidia. Dod also worries about how much Trench will pay him since he loaned Trench Armored Assault Tanks, Multi-Troop Transports, and STAPs during the Battle of Lothal. He doesn't get along the heroic cyborg General Grievous at all, as Grievous doesn't like Dod's personality and Dod doesn't like Grievous's heroics.
