UPN last night premiered the promo for "Cogenitor", the first Enterprise outing of May sweeps.

Written by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, the episode centres around the Vissians, a race which requires three genders to mate. "Cogenitor" was directed by Star Trek: The Next Generation's LeVar Burton and features Andreas Katsulas (Babylon 5, Tomalak in TNG) as the Vissian captain.

The 20-second trailer is available for download via StarTrekkie.com. For those of you with slower connections, here's a transcript:
