There are multiples things to know in order to do this achivement.
> This achievement needs a species that is neither Pacifist nor Xenophile and not fanatic xenophobe (Authoritarian and Materialist is usually a good combo)
> Needs Ironman mode
Step #1
First and obviously, you need the Sol system, which must contain a continental world.
> In order to be sure that the system spawn, the easiest way it to spam-create a new galaxy with minimum size, using the "Ring" configuration. If the Sol system is generated, then it will stand outside or inside the ring and will be really visible. If you can't see a system afar far from the ring galaxy, restart.
Step #2
Second, you need to have the Human to be in the Machine age.
> For that, send one of your first Corvet right to the system. If there's a spatioport, go back to step #1
> If not, then make several invasion armies (3 are enough) and send a Scientific ship to see in what era they are. If they're Machine age or under, then it's a success. if in the atomic age, then you may restart the game (a bit unsure on atomic age, since WW were right before the opening of atomic age soooooo...).
> If they are at machine age, invade them. If you're successful, then you have your achievement :3
> if they're BEFORE the machine age, then you'll have to use a scientific station in order to bring them here. Once they're at the machine age, stop the enlightement and bring them your democracy.
That's all!
This guide is a quick and efficient way to obtain the achievement, but it can be completed through others means or during one of your casual games

Enlightenment doesn't work that way. It brings them up to the same level as an FTL-capable species. eg. If they're bronze age, it makes them go directly to FTL-capable after 200 months. If they're iron age, it makes them go directly to FTL-capable after 100 months. It doesn't stop at at every age inbetween. It just jumps straight from wherever they are to space-faring nation. So you have to get exactly on the machine age or you're outta luck.

This achievement is considered an Easter egg, per the Stellaris wiki:
"Reference to the Iain M. Banks book Excession. The author coined the term "Outside Context Problem" to indicate a surprising and unexpected situation, such as an invasion by massively superior alien force occuring in the middle of World War 2.
The Sol system is a special case that will spawn in 50% of all games with primitives set to a value greater than zero where it is not already being used by a starting player or AI empire. If it spawns with a primitive Machine Age civilization (25% of the time, per the wiki), then you can unlock this achievement by surveying the system, building a star base in it, and then landing enough armies to capture the planet. Note that the civilization can and will progress to the next age (and possibly destroy themselves) which will prevent the achievement conditions from being met, so the best approach is to start with a tiny galaxy (200 stars) and send out 10+ science ships to scout the entire galaxy early.

If you encounter the Sol system have a science vessel survey the system. Sol III is earth. Special text for discovering a sentient species will appear stating the planet is at war. I don't know if it does it 100% of the time but both times I've found the planet it has said that and had an Iron Cross next to the Sol III name. Build troop transports and invade the planet. 4 armies will do the job. You must successfully conquer the planet for the achievement to unlock. I can speak from personal experience a failed invasion will not unlock the achievement.

We choose any empire, as mentioned above, when preparing for the game, turn the slider of pre-light civilizations to the maximum, turn off other empires and extinct empires.
In the game we create 3-4 scientific ships aimed only at studying systems. We are looking for a system called the Sun, there will be a sub-light civilization.
Important. This civilization must be in the Machine Age or earlier. If there is an atomic age or transition to the space age, you can start over.
If civilization is in the machine era, then we create 5-6 armies and plant them on the planet. Immediately after capturing the planet, the achievement will drop.
