The ''[[Aegis (WarShip class)|Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser '''''Patrick Henry''''' was a [[WarShip]] in service with the [[Star League Defense Force]]. It was one of the [[Star League]] vessels that intervened in a space battle between the [[Federated Suns]]' carrier WarShip ''[[Enterprise (Individual Kitty Hawk-class WarShip)|Enterprise]]'' and the [[Draconis Combine]]'s flagship, the modified ''[[Farragut]]''-class ''[[Ryu (Individual Farragut-class WarShip)|Ryu]]'' at the zenith [[jump point]] of the neutral [[New Mendham]] system on 31 December [[2601]].

When the SLDF-controlled space station ''[[Prosperity]]'' and the ''[[Baron (WarShip class)|Baron]]''-class destroyers ''[[Templeton]]'' and ''[[Lancaster (Individual Baron-class WarShip)|Lancaster]]'' could not prevent the situation from escalating, reinforcements were called in in the form of two ''Aegis''-class cruisers, the ''Patrick Henry'' and the ''[[Michael Collins (Individual Aegis-class WarShip)|Michael Collins]]''. The two cruisers jumped right into the battle zone and immediately moved towards the ''Enterprise'' and the ''Ryu'', respectively, launching boarding craft while Commodore Brubaker (from aboard ''Prosperity'' station) once again ordered the combatants to stand down.<ref>''En Passant'', p. 304</ref>

In response to this, the ''Ryu'' revealed that it was upgraded with a [[Lithium-Fusion Battery]], powering up its [[Kearny-Fuchida Drive]] and jumping out of the system. The ''Patrick Henry'' opened fire on the ''Ryu'' with its autocannons but could not prevent the jump and subsequent destruction of several boarding craft near the ''Ryu''.

The ''Patrick Henry'' only appears in the German-only novel ''[[En Passant (novel)|En Passant]]''. As a foreign-language product, this novel is not currently counted among the [[canonical]] [[BattleTech]] sources. It is an official BattleTech product though, and as such should be regarded as [[apocryphal]].

By extension, information from this source—in this case, the ''Patrick Henry'' and its exploits—must be considered apocryphal as well.
