The Bitmus Cloud represented a specific place. In the wake of the Great Hyperspace Rush of 383 BBY, the San Tekka clan, who were hyperspace prospectors, created maps of advantageous new hyperspace routes that navigated the Bitmus Cloud. This was achieved through the unique talents of Mari San Tekka, one of their children. In 231 BBY, during a conversation between the scientist Chancey Yarrow and the Nihil pirate Nan, Yarrow referenced San Tekka's charting of courses through the Bitmus Cloud while elucidating San Tekka's capabilities.
Justina Ireland included the Bitmus Cloud in her young-adult novel, The High Republic: Out of the Shadows, which came out in 2021. This novel was released as a component of Phase I of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia initiative.
