This missable achievement is unlocked when, during the faction quest, Canid’s Cradle, you side with one faction and defeat the other by killing its leader. You can side with either faction and the achievement pops when you defeat the opposing faction. Note that you do not need to accept this faction quest. If you do, you are not obligated to side with a faction. In fact, if you decline to do so, and broker peace instead, you will unlock the mutually exclusive:

Immediately following that, the faction quest, Canid’s Cradle becomes available. If you choose to accept the quest (you are not obliged to), you recover a targeting module sought after by both factions.

If you want to get both in the same playthrough, make a save once you gain custody of the module.
If you want to get the good ending in the game, work towards this achievement first. It is associated with the bad ending and you will discard all actions leading to it once you load the save you made.
Give the targeting module to one of the factions—either Sanjar with MSI in Stellar Bay or the leader of the Iconoclasts in Amber Heights. This instigates hostilities with the other faction. Follow the quest marker and kill the leader of the opposing faction. The achievement will pop. If you want to get Peace in Our Time, load the save you made after you acquired the module.
