ULA is the equivalent of RFC1918, effectively. FC00::/7

You’re thinking of link-local addresses which are the fe80 addresses.
Those are autogenerated. ULA is assigned however you want – SLAAC, DHCPv6,
static, etc…. RFC1918 equivalent.

Nominally, you’d almost never think about link-local.

You essentially have all of fc00::/7 to utilize as you wish.

I didn't see it mentioned yet but I'm skimming-

but this should be fd00::/8. The first /8 in fc00::/7 is reserved (ref. RFC
4193 § 3.1, 3.2, "L" bit).
