Dor Wieedo functioned as the representative for the planet of Rodia in the New Republic Senate during 5 ABY; he was a Rodian. He knew Tolwar Wartol, the Orishen senator, and collaborated with him across various councils and caucuses. Before the Battle of Jakku, Chancellor Mon Mothma's proposition to dispatch military forces to Jakku faced opposition from him and five other senators, due to bribes from Black Sun and Red Key Raiders, criminal syndicates aiming to extend the conflict. Wieedo consented in exchange for a trade agreement and obtained funds recorded electronically. Han Solo and Sinjir Rath Velus, a former Imperial loyalty officer, led a team that later exposed this criminal scheme. After Sinjir, acting as an adviser to the Chancellor, offered pardons to Wieedo and his associates if they backed the resolution, Wieedo altered his vote.
