The Heavy Weapon rule specifically says "a fighter cannot fire a heavy weapon if they moved that turn" (emphasis added). The Craftworlds equipment list does not include any weapons listed as "Heavy Weapons." Instead, the list includes a category called "Heavy Weapon Platform Weapons." Because a "Heavy Weapon Platform Weapon" is not the same as a "Heavy Weapon," I would say the Heavy Weapon rule does not apply. That is strict RAW.

Similarly - going with RAW - I do not think the Guardian Defender Gunner would suffer the -1 Encumbered penalty in H2H.
