- "He's probably calling it an outrage, and thinks that the Skyway Flyer company has a long history of anti-Neimoidian sentiment, and has evidence that the transit company is horning in on Trade Federation markets."
- ―Senator Orn Free Taa, joking about Lott Dod's speeder accident[src]
Lott Dod was the Neimoidian Senator of the Trade Federation from before the Invasion of Naboo to the beginning of the Clone Wars and a master of political and bureaucratic manipulation. He was extremely wealthy and was not afraid to show it, especially in the clothes he wore.

[edit] Biography
- "I object! There is no proof! This is incredible. We recommend a commission be sent to Naboo to ascertain the truth."
- ―Lott Dod[src]
During the invasion of Naboo, Queen Amidala and Senator Palpatine entered the Senate Rotunda and announced to the Senate that the Trade Federation had invaded Naboo. Lott Dod exclaimed that the claims were outrageous and called for a commission to be sent to Naboo to obtain the truth on the matter, with Senator Aks Moe from Malastare agreeing with him. Seeing the Senate was stalling in properly dealing with the Federation and its invasion of her homeworld, Amidala called for a vote of no confidence in Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum, paving the way for Palpatine to win the Chancellorship.
A few years later, during the Separatist Crisis, Dod was involved in a horrible speeder "accident", which altered Dod's voice and appearance. It is unknown if he joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems after the accident.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Lott Dod was played by Silas Carson and voiced by Toby Longworth.
Lott Dod was named after two US senators—Trent Lott and Christopher Dodd.[source?]
In Attack of the Clones, it was once believed that the Neimoidian with Nute Gunray on Geonosis was Dod. However, it was also believed to be Gilramos Libkath or Rune Haako. Finally, Leland Chee settled the debate by saying it was Haako on Geonosis.[source?]
