This achievement can easily be gained within the first hour to two hours of gameplay or less, depending on how fast you steam through the game. Upon entering Omega and finding out about the Doctor/Archangel, you will gain a mission leading you to an unexplored system called Fathar. Scan the three planets in that system and you should find a disturbance, once you track down where its coming from you'll be able to land your ship on the planet, clear the area of enemies, track down the computer and voila the achievement will be yours once the mission ends.
