comment
Some villains have their own country, and with a well-guarded desolate volcanic wasteland around their ominous, dark tower that the heroes must battle their way through. Others, however, have bigger plans. Entire planetary systems, or an alternate universe, perhaps. And right in the middle is this place, a floating, menacing castle of doom or huge levitating fortress overlooking... well, pretty much nothing. There's no Mordor here, no vice-filled urban district, and certainly no red-hot volcanic underworld. The base floats in absolute nothingness.
On top of that, there are multiple versions with their respective associations. A Floating Continent with this place on top will often be a rather mystical area, while aliens in space-faring series usually have an enormous Airborne Aircraft Carrier in the centre or edge of the universe. Then, of course, anything literally in a void has a pretty good chance of being a Mind Screw. Nevertheless, it's relatively common, especially as The Very Definitely Final Dungeon in a videogame, providing the backdrop for many an extremely powerful evil force.
Not to be confused with Floating Castle. Outfitting such structure with long-ranged weaponry may upright turn it into Airborne Artillery. Extreme cases can overlap with Space Station and if armed, may even commence Orbital Bombardment.

Lavender Castle, as the protagonists' goal, is not very ominous◊. In fact, it's the place they believe they will find their Big Good, who or whatever that may be. However it is a floating castle in space, shown several times as the characters fly right past without noticing. Dr. Agon's twisted cathedral ship◊, however, does look the part.

Dragon Age: The Black City, which supposedly was the home of The Maker and the location of heaven before it was corrupted by the hubris of mortals, appears as a vaguely city shaped blob of darkness in the otherwise empty sky of the Fade. Interestingly enough, the Black City is the only permanent landmark in the fade, with all points in the fade somehow appearing to be equidistant from the city.

Dragon Quest:
Dragon Quest VI: Dhuran, the last of the Dread Fiends, has the Stormsgate Citadel as his lair, which is also fought as a boss after the Hero and his party gather what is nowadays the Zenithian Equipment.
Dragon Quest VIII: The Black Citadel, Rhapthorne’s lair and the final dungeon of the game which was formerly sealed within the Holy Island of Neos before Eight and the party defeated Marcello.
Dragon Quest X: The game’s second to last dungeon during Version 1 of the game, the Temple of Reidametes, is a volcanic temple that menaces the Ogre village 500 years ago as a fake sun and is also a place of worship for Nelgel the Netherlord's believers. The Hero fights Razuban there to try and prevent Nelgel’s coming, but is too late despite the latter’s defeat. Said temple is also used for the Heart of Hell, Nelgel’s base of operations, while Temple Reidametes itself is brought back during the game’s 10th Anniversary Quest sidestory.
Dragon Quest XI: The Fortress of Fear, Mordegon’s base of operations, where he mostly chills out after obtaining the Sword of Light and bringing Erdrea into a monster infested land of darkness. It’s also the final dungeon for the game, though since the evil that Mordegon stopped from regaining his power wasn’t properly taken care of…

A Practical Guide to Evil:
In the old days of For the Evulz-style villainy, these were a big thing, especially under Dread Empress Triumphant (may she never return). The current leadership of Praes has stopped using them, due to the fact that they both take up valuable resources and have a tendency to crash, making them extremely inefficient.
In book three, Diabolist performs a ritual to raise the city of Liesse above the clouds to buy time for her time to finish her work on a Mystical Plague. It doesn't stick, and the city eventually ends up in Arcadia and becomes key part of Twilight Ways.
In book seven, Praesi mobilise some of the mothballed flying fortresses against the Dead King. They turn out quite useful, though it is noted that they're easy to destabilize from the inside and become unescable deathtraps if it happens.

Dawn of War: Necron Monoliths from Dark Crusade, the only Necron building that can produce units. Once fully upgraded, they fly, teleport decent distances, and bring enormous firepower to bear on anything unfortunate enough to get in their path. If one ends up being severely damaged, it teleports back to its original location. Not really ominous, as that implies that your doom is merely impending, Monoliths are the final seal on your tomb.

BioShock Infinite: Comstock House is the biggest and most intimidating structure in Columbia, even without the thunderstorm and the gigantic statues of the Founding Fathers it rests upon. In addition to being the house of the Big Bad, it becomes an asylum run by the inmates in the future of 1984. Concept art makes the building look even more Gothic (as in the architecture with sharp towers and flying buttresses).

Final Fantasy XIV: Mt. Gulg is an unusual example: It's a huge mountain that was quite literally ripped off the ground and sent floating in the sky thanks to the powers of the Lightwarden Innocence. However, as you start reaching the peak, the "castle" part of the area starts to show itself, with huge white walls and pillars giving the players the feeling like they just stepped in the Pearly Gates! The 'ominous' part is that its utterly filled with Sin Eaters.

The Necropoli, the main fortresses of the Undead Scourge, are Nerubian ziggurats torn from the ground and floating hundreds of feet in the air to spread the undead armies and serve as mobile bases. The most prominent of those are Naxxramas in World of Warcraft (an Instance that was revamped for Wrath of the Lich King), and Acherus The Ebon Hold (The Death Knight's equivalent to Moonglade). They also showed up all over the place during the Zombie Apocalypse event before the release of Wrath of the Lich King, and Naxxaramas was ominous enough to get a patch named "Shadow of the Necropolis" after itself.

Planescape:
Floating castles, forts and fortresses are fairly common, most notably the Doomguard citadels which float on the borders between the Negative Energy Plane and the Quasielemental Planes and Orcus's crumbling fortress of Tcian Sumere also in the Negative. These all likely inspired the Fortress of Regrets in Planescape: Torment.
The Githyanki capital Tu'Narath is a fortress-city in the timeless void of the Astral Plane, built out of the petrified corpse of a forgotten god.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Knowhere is a fortress made from a Celestial's head, discovered by the Guardians and located near the Rip, the extreme outer edge of all existence. (Who killed it? Pretty much everyone hopes they never find out. It's later revealed that it was Knull, god of the symbiotes and the King in Black.) It serves as base for those who study the Rip and the space-time abnormalities of the location. (It also appears in the movie and the animated series.)

Ace Online/Air Rivals: Not exactly owned by the villain, but the Advance Base Rakion at the Mesos Floor can look rather intimidating to inexperienced pilots. It doesn't help that it's the largest map in the entire game and that players from ANI and BCU must fight for control of the Advance Base to put it into use. The official website says it is a spy satellite of the Shrines, AKA the evil aliens that want to conquer the planet. ANI and BCU just borrow it during their skirmishes.

Black Widow (2021): The Red Room facility itself is a variant of this, being a modern spy fortress rather than a castle, but it still maintains the spirit of this trope. Going into the third act, the facility is revealed to be airborne, which is how General Dreykov kept off the radar for so long. At the film's climax, the Room is sent crashing to Earth, culminating in Natasha and Taskmaster getting into a Freefall Fight.

Dragon Quest X: The game’s second to last dungeon during Version 1 of the game, the Temple of Reidametes, is a volcanic temple that menaces the Ogre village 500 years ago as a fake sun and is also a place of worship for Nelgel the Netherlord's believers. The Hero fights Razuban there to try and prevent Nelgel’s coming, but is too late despite the latter’s defeat. Said temple is also used for the Heart of Hell, Nelgel’s base of operations, while Temple Reidametes itself is brought back during the game’s 10th Anniversary Quest sidestory.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Dragonlance: Mobile floating castles were used in the War of the Lance.
Forgotten Realms:
Netherese Enclaves are built by cutting off, turning over, and levitating the top of a mountain.
There was an epic level spell (the most powerful magic in third edition) that let you do this. In previous editions it was a 10th level spell in a system where the most powerful spells are normally 9th level.
Flattery Wyvernspur's castle, Temple in the Sky and several cases when the top half of a wizard's tower remained in a good condition and in its proper place for several centuries after lower floors were completely (and violently) removed. Starting with the one from which young Elminster, then Elmara, with her band of adventurers were kicked out in The Making of a Mage.

Mass Effect 2:
The Lair of the Shadow Broker turns out to be a unique spaceship constructed to be permanently hidden inside a massive storm in the skies above a planet that is searing hot on the day side and freezing cold on the night side.
The Collector Base floats in deep space. It and the mass relay to access it are the only landmarks in the area at all. Of course, there's not nothing around — there are the ruins of thousands upon thousands of ships that tried and failed to enter Collector space over the millennia.

Super Mario Bros.:
Super Paper Mario: Castle Bleck is a floating, glowing castle in monochrome colours set in the middle of a void that is actually called "The Void" (which Count Bleck created for his Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum).
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: Smithy's Factory starts out as a series of platforming elements floating in a dark blue void of nothingness, but Mario and friends eventually discover that it's a giant factory floating in said void.
Super Mario Galaxy: Bowser's Galaxy Reactor serves as his main base in the game, floating in the center of the universe. It consists of floating, broken chunks of castle mixed in with miniature deadly planets.
Super Mario Galaxy 2: Bowser's Galaxy Generator is a castle bigger than the actual galaxy inside it.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Castle Bowser — yes, Bowser now takes the form of a castle after merging with Prince Florian's castle with the help of a Wonder Flower — is the The Very Definitely Final Dungeon in this game.
Bowser's castles in many of the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi games can fly, and usually have some sort of giant cannon with which he terrorizes the citizens on the ground. In some games, sabotaging the castle's flight mechanism is necessary to Storm the Castle, but, in others, Mario and friends will fly up to it or find other means to board it while it's still airborne.
Yoshi's Island DS: The castle must be reached by space rocket (although it's shown in the clouds in the intro). Like most Mario examples, it crashes to the ground after the Final Boss is defeated.

In addition to collecting the titular wish-granting MacGuffins, the objective of the game is for the player characters to fight their way out of the castle. True to the form of this trope, defeating Dr. Erode, the master of the castle, in the Final Battle leads to the destruction of the castle.

Floating castles, forts and fortresses are fairly common, most notably the Doomguard citadels which float on the borders between the Negative Energy Plane and the Quasielemental Planes and Orcus's crumbling fortress of Tcian Sumere also in the Negative. These all likely inspired the Fortress of Regrets in Planescape: Torment.

Code Geass: Schneizel's Damocles◊ fortress is basically an amalgamation of the earlier airships with a Britannian-style palace, using float systems and energy shields introduced earlier in the series. Knowing Schneizel, who had those technologies commissioned, this was all a part of the plan. True to its name, it's not only shaped like a hovering sword, but also houses a stockpile of FLEIJA warheads that could be launched on any city at Schneizel's whim, thus enforcing peace.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy: The Floating Fortress is a castle floating in the sky. The castle itself is not evil; it was constructed by the Lefeinish before Tiamat the Wind Fiend screwed them over and seized the castle.
Final Fantasy II: The Castle of Emperor Palamecia is kept aloft by a massively destructive Cyclone, and can only be reached with the help of a flying dragon.
Final Fantasy VIII: Ultimecia's castle. It's so floaty that it has to be held down with improbably huge chains.
Final Fantasy XII: Sky Fortress Bahamut is both a floating fortress and an Evil Tower of Ominousness, tall enough to reach the clouds with its upper decks while its bottom floats just a few hundred feet above ground level.
Final Fantasy XIV: Mt. Gulg is an unusual example: It's a huge mountain that was quite literally ripped off the ground and sent floating in the sky thanks to the powers of the Lightwarden Innocence. However, as you start reaching the peak, the "castle" part of the area starts to show itself, with huge white walls and pillars giving the players the feeling like they just stepped in the Pearly Gates! The 'ominous' part is that its utterly filled with Sin Eaters.

They try to investigate but get stuck, and after Cotillion, the Patron God of Assassins, informs them the fortresses are full of K'Chain Nah'ruk, they decide they've got more immediate problems.

Malazan Book of the Fallen:
In the first book, Gardens of the Moon, the armies of the Malazan empire besieging the city of Pale face a flying fortress called Moon's Spawn under the command of a powerful sorcerer, Anomander Rake, who at first is presented as the antagonist — what with a titles like Son of Darkness and Mane of Chaos.

Warhammer 40,000:
The Silver Towers of Tzeentch float across the surface of a planet, held aloft by the power of its sorcerous residents and the energies of enslaved daemons. While they don't float far above the ground during a battle, they are spaceworthy and are often used as starships and Drop Ships.
During the Second Battle of Damnos, the Necron forces unleashed the Baleful Necropolis, a massive floating tomb complex that incorporated multiple Monoliths and a Tesseract Vault into its structure. The Necropolis did massive damage to the Ultramarines before it was destroyed.
"The Rock", the Fortress Monastery of the Dark Angels chapter of Space Marines, is all that remains of their homeworld of Caliban, a literal castle on a jut of rock floating in space. It has since been sealed against the void and equipped with engines to travel the stars, moving from world to world to find new recruits. Unlike a lot of other examples though, this also qualifies as Dark Is Not Evil. Well, mostly...

Warhammer has a couple. The Floating Castle is a creepy location in the Realm of Chaos, doubtless home to daemons. There is also a rare good example — the Palace of Hothar the Fey — a powerful High Elf mage prince's palace that drifts gently through the clouds of the Elven province of Saphery.

Land of Illusion has the Phantom's Cloud Castle, which serves as the game's fourteenth and final level. To access it, Mickey must first plant a beanstalk on the island below it so he can climb his way to the top. This level houses the Phantom, who has stolen the magic crystal and cast spells upon Mickey's friends, turning them into his henchmen. The Phantom serves as the game's Final Boss, and when Mickey defeats him, he recovers the crystal.

The Legends of Ethshar: There are magical tapestries used for transportation — you weave a picture of where you want to be. One highly advanced magician makes a tapestry of a "in a void of nothingness" castle and thereby brings into being a little pied-a-terre (pied-a-void?) for himself and his mistress... but when the return route gets blocked, said mistress ends up trapped in said castle for a few centuries. Said magician also created a flying castle in the skies, which was brought down by a Fantastic Nuke.

"Jack and the Beanstalk": The focus of the story is Jack's exploration of the evil giant's castle high up in the sky. In some versions, it is implied that there's a whole world of giants up in the clouds.
