Del Rey is a science-fiction and fantasy imprint of Random House. They began as an imprint of Ballantine Books in 1977. The imprint is responsible for most of Random House's science-fiction publications, including all of their Star Wars books (with the exception of novels published between 1991 and 1999, which are still reprinted as Bantam Spectra books).

In late June 2004, it renewed its contract with Lucas Licensing to extend its book licensing agreement through December 2008.[1] On September 12, 2008, the contract was renewed through the end of 2013.
