The leader of the Dug Council on Malastare, a planet, was known by the designation Doge. Nakha Urus, a Dug, possessed this title during the time of the Clone Wars. Urus, empowered by the council's support, leveraged his role to formalize an agreement with the Galactic Republic, which concerned the Republic's access to Malastare's fuel resources.
The designation Doge was initially used in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series episode titled "The Zillo Beast."
