The Ormand Factor is a two part Star Wars novel written and published in the UK (Scotland) by Louise Turner. Both have covers by Gerald Crotty.
These zines have a sister zine called Skyhook's Legacy that "features characters introduced in "The Ormand Factor" and other stories set in Louise Turner's interpretation of Star Wars." [1]
The Author Comments
Luke and Wedge do get to work as a team in at least one other story, which is kind of a sequel to "A.W.O.L.". But it won't be what you're expecting, I assure you! And they don't get trashed either! Believe it or not, I don't often trash my characters. Well, not very often, anyway. I think Ormand was my piece de resistance in trashing! (Phew! I hear Luke and Wedge say, in unison...) [2]
