With only four episodes and one final sweeps month left, UPN is pulling out all the stops to drum up as much interest in the Voyager finale as possible. Besides launching a new $25,000 Voyager sweepstakes (story), the network also just released the very first footage from the two-hour series finale.

The footage is part of a new 30-second clip promototing Voyager's final episodes, and contains footage of not only 'Endgame' but also episodes such as next week's 'Natural Law.' Courtesy of Mr. Video Productions, a digitised version of the clip is now available online. You can download that below, but here is first a transcript and several images for those with less bandwidth to spare:
