Well, I doubt landing castles were originally made to be invasion vehicles in the first place.

If they were built for the purpose of military invasion, then they would have a LOT more on board weapons than just a few Kat hangars, a hangar for Sky Carriers that don't even have password protection (the one Slaine ran off with wasn't his own SkyCarrier, rememeber?)

I think it is much more likely that the landing castles were actually vehicles for colonization on mars/other planets and were only repurposed for the invasion of earth when the emperor went full retard.

This would most likely be how landing castles were originally used:

1) Landing castle falls towards the area intended to be colonized.

2) Heat and shockwave of the impact clear out the immediate area, making construction on the location much easier.

3) Personell from inside the landing castle begins construction of colony around the landing castle. SkyCarriers are used to transport the building materials and also the kataphracts which would protect the colony and the territory around it.

4) Colony is finished with the huge landing castle in the middle acting both as central facility with residental and industrial areas surrounding it.
