Lott Dod was a Neimoidian male politician who represented the Trade Federation in the Galactic Senate during the final decades of the Republic Era. Rising to prominence in 33 BBY after the Eriadu Conference left a power vacuum in the Federation's leadership, Dod—backed by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious and allied with Nute Gunray—took control of the conglomerate and assumed Gunray's former Senate seat.
As the Federation's senator, Dod defended its corrupt leadership and mercantile interests, using his influence to obstruct Senate oversight and, at the height of his power, to sway entire voting blocs. He helped manufacture the Trade Federation's blockade and invasion of Naboo, and during the Clone Wars he retained his seat while secretly aiding the Confederacy of Independent Systems, profiting from the conflict he publicly disavowed.
Owner of a luxurious palace on Cato Neimoidia and aided by figures such as the diplomat Lufa Danak, Dod ultimately lost his life to the Clone Wars, after which the Trade Federation's influence sharply declined.
