Half-elves are the offspring of humans a elves. This lends evidence to a common heritage of the two species. Half-elves are natural diplomats and helped bridge the differences between the species of the Old Republic. When the Empire began to rise to power, most half-elves were assassinated. 

Many half-elves followed a Jedi tradition similar to that of their elven ancestors. The Emperor had special interest in killing half-elf Jedi. There are rumors that a collection of half-elf ears was found among his personal belongings. Only a few successfully evaded the purge, most on the elven home-world where they joined the battle against Drow and Orcs.

Very few half-elves survived to see the fall of the Empire. A few small enclaves of half-elves have forged an independent culture. It is likely though that, as the elves rejoin the rest of the galaxy, and elves and humans once again interact, more will be born.
