Lorca Oviedo

Lorca Oviedo was a Human who served the Galactic Republic as the director of Oviedo Engineering, a corporation that built military weaponry, holding the title of Director General. Around 21 BBY, the director allied himself with the Separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Republic's opponent in the Clone Wars. As the Republic Senate's members believed the Director General was a Separatist, he and Separatist Foreman Wat Tambor prepared an assassination attempt on the director in an attempt to establish that Oviedo was not a Separatist.

After a conference on the astronomical object Aviles Prime, a group of Republic clone commandos was tasked with escorting Oviedo's cruiser to the Republic capital planet Coruscant; however, while traveling to Coruscant, the Director General executed his crew and brought his vessel out of hyperspace as Separatist warships shot down the Republic vessels.

After the cruiser and its escort crashed on the Expansion Region moon Asturias, Oviedo spoke with Tambor via hologram. Several clones who had survived the crash located the director and Tambor commanded his forces to leave no witnesses. The commandos captured the Director General and escaped Asturias with Oviedo's cruiser, bringing him to Coruscant, where he died of respiratory failure.
