The mission "The Aletheia" starts with the description: "Find the missing Starcom ship, The Aletheia."
Walkthrough (spoilers!)
 
Preconditions: Begin the Codex Shape mission and speak to Commodore Yu
Completion Criteria: Locate the SCS Aletheia and direct them on a safe path back to Celaeno
Remarks: Unique ID coded as: ARRIVAL.ALETHEIA
Remarks: The Aletheia is an essential actor for the entire game, but is not treated as an 'essential actor' might be in other games. The ship itself may gain in combat capabilities, but can be destroyed if you are not careful. Unlike Celaeno, which has strong weaponry and defenses, the Aletheia may be lured into an enemy crossfire far from the protection of other ships or stations, and be destroyed.

Detailed walkthrough:
# Outfit your ship for a sustained high-speed run through interstellar space.
# Head directly for the star where the Aletheia was conducting surveys.
# Note where you encounter a sudden void drag effect out of place for your apparent distance to a star or planet (place a map marker, if you like) as this will relate to the Deep Space Gravity mission.
# Survey around the first (northern) star first and take in the Stone Pyramids anomaly.
# As you move toward the southern star, interact with and then destroy the patrol of Devout vessels.
# Don't miss the Impact Crater anomaly, as it gives you a clue that you're on the right track.
# The Aletheia will be patrolling between the planets in this southern star system, and will respond to your hail.
# Accept the Intricate Triangles artifact from Captain Dolson and bid her safe travels
# Take a moment to ensure you've surveyed the planet with the Hidden Launch Pad Anomaly, and then return to Celaeno
