Lott Dod (Clone Wars: A Galactic Conflict)

"I must object against such outrageous claims! Viceroy Nute Gunray has always been an ally of our proud Galactic Republic. The acts of extremists are an insult to him and our very own Trade Federation. Since the beginning of his career, the Viceroy has worked in favour of free commerce. There is no proof of him being affiliated with Dooku's evil separatist movement!"

- Lott Dod facing "outrageous" claims against Nute Gunray and the Trade Federation Lott Dod was a Neimoidian male politician who served as the senator of the Trade Federation and viceroy Nute Gunray's legal counsel since as early as the Naboo Crisis.

During the Clone Wars, he would use his position to assert that the shipping conglomerate's assets had been co-opted by the Confederacy of Independent Systems without the approval of the governing board and that Nute Gunray had nothing to do with the acts of extremists. Nonetheless, the senator as well as the viceroy himself would conspire and conduct business with the Separatists on numerous occasions, but they kept their respective posts at the urging of those who wished a peaceful end for the conflict, while their true allegiance remained with the Confederacy.
