- "You will return in triumph! A hero of the Republic! The illustrious Lorca Oviedo—Director General of the Oviedo Engineering dynasty."
- ―Wat Tambor, to Director General Lorca Oviedo
Director General was a title used by Oviedo Engineering,[1] a corporation that manufactured military equipment.[2] Around 21 BBY,[3] Lorca Oviedo, the director[2] of Oviedo Engineering and a member of the[1] Confederacy of Independent Systems,[4] held the title. After Galactic Republic clone commandos discovered Oviedo's allegiance to the Confederacy on the[1] Expansion Region[5] moon Asturias, they brought him to the Republic's[1] Core Worlds[6] capital planet[7] Coruscant for questioning, where he died of respiratory failure.[1]
