The records show that Volition registererd the domain, and it shows that they only did it in december.
It has hasen't been there for years because searching for freespace2.com
does show that it was registererd years ago,

Feel free to take a look yourself:-
http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/whois/I am not to sure about what else I can do that could get anything, as someone noted a while ago Volition is not exactly giving out lots of information.
I suppose the obvious thing to do is to sit and type in common filenames into those domains to see if there is a website minus a index page, that seems unlikely to do anything though, which leaves the weakest element in any security system, the human.
Does anyone have any contacts at Volition? it may be possible to use the presense of the domains to knock something loose from the solid wall hiding everything, like ask for comments on the rumor that they are in the final stages of talks with THQ about getting a contract for 3 FS games to continue the FS story. If you play your cards right they might phrase the reply e-mail in such as way it unintentionally gives you some information.
