Running a sneak-n-peek in Prime Directive. They captured and stole a Romulan PF (Fast patrol Ship - the SFB equivalent to a Runabout, but which dates back many years earlier)

None come to mind.

The few I think really fit tightly: Burning Empires, The Burning Wheel Gold, The Burning Wheel (Revised Edition).

Looser fits include Twilight 2000 4E... it lacks the overarching doom spiral, but radiation effects do add up
A bunch of other YZE games, the ones I see as interesting settings: ALIEN: The Roleplaying Game, Coriolis: The Third Horizon, Coriolis: The Great Dark.
Alien has the doom effect, even in campaign play; sooner or later, you're going to get eaten. The mission building tables provide for a wide variety of situations, but 1/18 of them include some form of Xenomorph encounter. (My longest campaign had 2 alien encounters; they survived the first one.
Both Coriolis games (and they're really different games, spawned from the same origin) have interesting settings and good questions in character gen; again, not all of them go on the sheet.

If you don't mind cultural appropriation... Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game (5th Edition) and I do mean 5th. Compelling setting, lots of lore... potential doom spiral if facing lots of shadowlands critters... and the character gen is a 20 questions prompt with space for both a line or two of writing and some mechanical impact. There's social conflict as well in core.

Dune lacks the doom spiral as well, but the 2d20 system shines in the Dune implementation; the supplement for Great Houses is a great resource. If you're not a Dune fan, however...

Easily several hundred supplements/sourcebooks/expansions in dead tree. RMC V-VIII, for example. Last I ran RM, I didn't have them, but acquired them because I was hopeful to run some more RM. But I've not. And no longer plan to.
Of the 300 or so I've got in dead tree (counting major editions as new games), about 200 of the cores have been used. A few dozen got campaigns.

Somwhere in between, for me.
I don't mind needing to fill some beats, but I don't much need a sandbox (most sandboxes I don't have much use for) and I don't particularly like tightly railroaded adventures, either, and "highly curated" to me implies "particularly limited choice spectra at the story beats"... which is usually synonymous with railroad.
