Where to start?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;Yes, where did it start? As far as I can remember, I didn’t plan this, it just happened, how do you think yourself into an interstellar war? And that’s just what happened, life was good, it was easy, and that’s the best thing, easy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi guys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week I sat down with&amp;nbsp;Astro Empires AE's 3D concepts and modelling artist Luis. I felt I would publish an interview with him to give you a greater idea of what he does for AE. I have included some concept images from his early development of the Cruiser too! Enjoy!&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

It was too much of a risk; the tunnels would collapse killing hundreds of workers, crushing the lives of the families they worked so hard to provide for. How the loss of life and machinery would only get worse the deeper they dug, the deeper i dug.&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
