Whitford was a city on Turaxis II, located 30 miles east of Orley. During the Guild Wars, it was overrun by Kel-Morian forces, who were subsequently repelled by the Thundering Third. Due to the fighting, Whitford was so heavily damaged that it was virtually abandoned, though its two-story bell tower (part of a chapel) survived the fighting, and provided a vantage point to survey the town. Due to the devastation of the war, the city was a haven for criminal activity, and during the conflict Tychus Findlay sold 8 million credits worth of stolen jammers to a contact he had in the city.
