During the High Republic Era, Erta and the Twi'lek Moona met and they eventually became girlfriends.[1] Moona's friend Piralli noticed that Moona visited the tapbar Enlightenment less than she did before she had known Erta.[3]

Meeting in Enlightenment

"I'm going to introduce you to her tonight. So, you'd better be on your best behavior."
―Moona, to Piralli, about Era[1]

In 382 BBY,[4] Erta and Moona planned to meet in the tapbar Enlightenment[1] on the moon[5] Jedha. Shortly before the Battle of Jedha, the Sullustan dock worker Piralli talked about his and Moona's friend Keth Cerepath and that Cerepath spent too much time with Silandra Sho. When Piralli called San Tekka Cerepath's new friend, Moona told Piralli that she also had a friend and she wanted Piralli to meet her.[1]
