Approximately 3 years ago it was announced that various developers who previously worked on Civ and XCOM have formed a new studio called BitReactor.
Today it was announced by EA that BitReactor is working on a turn-based Star Wars game called Zero Company.
Right now there is not much information known, the official description is the following:

“The upcoming turn-based tactics game puts you in command during the Clone Wars.

Recruit an unconventional team of operatives and deploy them on missions unlike any other in the galaxy far, far away in Star Wars Zero Company!
The newly announced single-player turn-based tactics game, developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, will share the first details about the game currently in development with attendees at Star Wars Celebration Japan.
Here’s your exclusive first look at Star Wars Zero Company and just a few members of the elite squad under your command.
