Lott Dod (The Star Wars)

"I care little for etiquette. I am a humble merchant, a banker, tax collector and politician. I finance the war effort because it brings profits and comfort to us, corporate heads. I do not care for vendettas or politics, my dear ladies and gentlemen. I care for the welfare of commerce."

- Lott Dod Lott Dod was a Neimoidian male who served as Senator under Emperor Cos Dashit in the Supreme Tribunal. A key figure in the rise of the New Galactic Empire, Dod earned numerous offices and titles, gaining him control over galaxy-wide commerce.

Following the demise of Crispin Hoedaack, Dod was persuaded by Darth Vader to pledge his support to a Triumvirate that would seize power and supplant the Emperor. As a tax collector, Dod ensured that gains were used to finance the Empire's war effort against the newly-formed Alliance to Restore the Old Empire.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, the senator became a fugitive once the Alliance turned into the New Republic. Duro war hero Alor Morun led a rebellion on the planets under the Neimoidians' yoke, which culminated with the Battle of Cato Neimoidia at the Great Vaults. With his property taken, his own homeworld conquered, left penniless and with the corporate titans turned into puppet goverments, Dod signed a treaty with the Republic and was imprisoned on Carida, where he passed out as a shadow of his former self.
