Evolutionary Environment Habitat Network
Apart from the properties needed by the servent, the EvE itself has some properties.
When starting a habitat for the first time on a new node, or the serviceId property is set to the initial value of "EVEID", the service generates a new "unique" id for the service. This id is used to find and identify a specific habitat in the EvE Network, the name can be freely choosen but should ensure uniqueness.
