The bst file extension is associated with the TeX/LaTeX a typesetting language.
The bst BiblioTex is bibliography file for TeX. Instead of visually formatting your text, you enter your manuscript text intertwined with TeX commands in a plain text file.
In contrast to standard word processors, your document is a separate file that does not pretend to be a representation of the final typeset output, and so can be easily edited and manipulated.
Use LaTeX to work with *.bst files.
Possibly can be converted to other formats.

Star Trek: Birth of the Federation is a turn-based strategy game developed by MicroProse for Microsoft Windows in 1999. The game uses .bst files for internal information about spaceships and other structures.
These files are game-specific resources read by Birth of the Federation. They are associated with the game's installation and data files rather than being a general-purpose format.
A .bst file is intended to be read by Star Trek: Birth of the Federation, not opened as a standalone document. Keep it in the game's expected installation or data folder and start the game on Microsoft Windows.
There is no need to open the file separately for normal gameplay. Changing or replacing it can prevent the game from loading correctly, so make a backup before making any changes.
.bst files contain game-specific data and do not have a useful general-purpose conversion format. They should normally remain in their original form for use by Star Trek: Birth of the Federation.
If the file is being modified for a game customization, it should be edited or replaced only with tools and instructions intended for Birth of the Federation. Converting it to another format will generally make it unusable by the game.
