Lott Dod was a Neimoidian male politician who served as the senator of the Trade Federation since as early as the Invasion of Naboo. During the Clone Wars, he would use his position to assert that the organization’s equipment had been legitimately bought by the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the open market. Nonetheless, Dod would conspire and conduct business with the Separatists on numerous occasions, but kept his post through frequent bribes and the corruption that plagued the Galactic Republic in its last decades.
