That's actually what I think it is, kinda...

Not on the scale of Dalamud, but the same purpose, minus the energy production aspect; A prison ship for sealed Eikons.

If you have access to such technology, you'd probably want to seal such things safely away in the sky... The Warring Triad were, Bahamut was sealed in space... Not sure why Odin was just sealed in the Shroud, but the fact that he just randomly got released is proof of how silly that plan was. Various Calamities and pop, he just gets released. Bahamut? The Warring Triad? Both required the intervention of man to bring them out. Seal these things nicely away in the sky/space and people have to actively try to fuck up to unseal them. Seal them on the ground and they just randomly spawn one day, granted Odin was released by a Calamity caused by Darnus, but he could equally have been released by a really big boar deciding to headbutt that rock all day... Given we fight The Last Allag in a quest there, I think Odin was sealed there out of desperation, perhaps after Xandes Calamity where they lost access to their technology? The Floating Continent had a pretty potent barrier around it, as did Crystal Tower (which was linked to Dalamud, though Darnus got around that by building a small replica), they obviously had enough common sense to try and seal these things properly. Kinda odd that Odin was just sealed in some rocks with zero Allagan tech in sight.
