Maybe the propaganda could use a "Our heroic soldiers stripped the planet of anything valuable to prevent the imperialist barbarian hordes of the enemy from stealing it?" approach?

And how long do you think could such a state of constant war persist, provided that none of the combatants are weakened and the frontline does not reach the stable and valuable parts of the empires? I imagine that the war could naturally "slow down" and lose importancy and intensity as the contested region loses value due to planets turning into radioactive lava balls up to the point of local commanders starting to make peace. Propaganda would still continue until a formal peace agreement between Medwedia and the Talven Empire would be made, turning the contested region into a "demilitarized zone" 10-20 lightyears across and having the demoralized soldiers and spaceships finally return home. The DMZ, devoid of all life, could become a lair for pirates, many of them being deserted or lost Medwedian and Talven ships.

Another interesting idea would be a radioactive planet becoming alive. Is there any possible link between radioactivity and essence/chaos/descension? If yes, a highly radioactive planet could sudden become one of those demonic overworlds. I imagine that to neutralize it, a whole planet would have to be ascended and sent on a collision course, uniting the efforts of the regional powers.
