edit: the only other explanation I can think of is that they're trying to avoid hitting another vehicle while landing. The main talk was about burning up though, so it still doesn't fit the overall picture.
I think it will make more sense in the next episode. I believe what they wanted to do was have a ship they could use to go undetected. That ship got compromised, so they crash landed near one they could steal which just happened to be in Dorrisia. This is just speculation going off them looking at that aircraft carrier in the preview.

Is Marie the black haired girl who fondled Akira? I hope it doesn't turn out that she is a Dorissian or something.
